What a great little hidden gem.This small little beach offers the most amazing sunsets.You can visit the grill and have a great burger on the covered deck.The little gift shops always have cute treasures to buy and they have a restroom.There's free parking and no beach tags! Its a win win.During in season if you can go at sunset you will see a flag ceramony that will bring tears to your eyes.Each night a flag is lowered that belonged to one of our Vetrans.The family is usually there and takes part while music is played.Its a great way to honor your country all while sitting in front of the sinking concrete ship on this pebbled beach and ending the day in a beautiful heartfelt way.

Absolutely one of the cleanest, largest and most importantly free beaches in New Jersey. After spending time here you will not want to go anyplace else.

This is one of those places that is not as popular since it is not close to any bars, restaurants or activities. That is precisely why I enjoy it so much. The primary entrance is on Wilmington Ave. Once you arrive you'll see a very wide beautiful section of beach. Lifeguards here seem to be sparce compared to Cape May Beach. But there are a lot less people so if you have younger kids it's easier to keep an eye on them. Overall, this is one of the least populated beaches that I've been to in NJ and that has a lot to do with why it is one of my favorites.

Always a great visit, be sure to bring camera and binoculars. Covid safe walking. Three levels of easy walking trail thru to woods, marsh and lagoon beach areas. Very diverse- you will see many different birds as well as trees, plants, turtles. Red trail is .5 mile, Yellow 1.2, Blue 1.5. Very level and occasional seating. Well maintained with observation deck areas.

We went to this beach on a weekday to escape the crowds. It was beautiful, clean and not crowded at all. No swimming here, but we brought our chairs, ate lunch and walked down to the inlet. It was our first visit to this park and we will be back!!

We live in Cape May but we split our time between Maple Avenue in Wildwood and Higbee Beach in Cape May. These are the BEST dog beaches in the area. Both are always crowded with fur babies. ❤️???? Wildwood has their own entrance on Maple Avenue that goes under the boardwalk. Highly recommend bringing a wagon or carrying your pup, if small. The sand gets very hot and it’s not a short walk to the water. They do have a plank walkway to make the walk more bearable though. If you stay near the boardwalk vs heading toward the ocean, there’s a fenced in park- one section is for large dogs and the other section is for small dogs. Just look for the large red fire hydrant- that’s how you know you’ve arrived at the dog beach. Dogs are not allowed on the Wildwood Boardwalk between Memorial Day and Labor Day unless they’re in a wagon or stroller. You won’t get yelled out though if you’re just making your way from the parking lot to the dog beach. At the beach, keep your dog leashed. Dogs are not allowed to roam free. You will be asked to leave if your dog is off the leash. After 6P, depending on the amount of people, you may have a little more freedom. The dog beach is not very wide- look for the markers. Also make sure you clean up after your dog and yourselves. Bring lots of water, an umbrella or shade tent for your dog and enjoy!!

Sunset Beach at the tip of Cape May has a lot to offer. Souvenir Shops, beach, beautiful views and a look at the remains of the Atlantus Concrete Ship. We have been visiting for years and are amazed at how the Atlantus has eroded over time. Beautiful sunsets and nice panoramic view. Plenty of photo ops.
