The beaches at The Crest are undoubtedly the finest in the area, and we have made it a point to stay at the Gondolier every time we visit, owing to its exceptional location and the most hospitable proprietors you'll ever come across.

Wildwood N.J. Beach
10 Dylan Mitchell

This place is truly incredible and incredibly beautiful! The beach scenery is breathtaking, and there are so many attractive people around! Additionally, there are numerous shops along the boardwalk. Just a heads up, the prices can be a bit high, but that's to be expected in a popular tourist spot. I would absolutely love to visit again in the future! Oh, and interestingly enough, they even have recreational marijuana dispensaries on the boardwalk.

This lighthouse was really enjoyable. It had 199 steps to climb, but the views from the top were fantastic. There were also trails leading to the beach and other places. In addition, they had a visitor center, a museum, and a gift shop. We could easily spend a few hours here. After completing the climb, we decided to stay and have lunch. Moreover, they had a large grassy area where we could play catch with our son and a football.

I embarked on a 25-minute drive to reach this beach, being unfamiliar with the vicinity. After parking my vehicle, I walked halfway to the shore, only to be informed that it was the season for bird watching and access to the beach was prohibited. This news was quite disheartening.

The warmest month during the year in this area is July, with the air temperature rising up to 26.2°C and the water temperature up to 25.4°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 6.4°C and the water temperature down to 5.7°C.
