Category: Things to Do

When massive monster trucks roar to life on Wildwood’s sandy shores, you know you’re in for an unforgettable spectacle that combines adrenaline-pumping action with the natural beauty of our free beaches.

The Ultimate Beach Racing Experience

The Monsters on the Beach event transforms Wildwood’s pristine coastline into a thunderous arena where colossal trucks weighing thousands of pounds crush cars and race across the sand. Presented by the Renegade Monster Truck Tour, this high-octane spectacle has usually run on a fall weekend (in 2026 it was moved to October 17 and 18 after coastal flooding), on the beach at Spicer Avenue.

What makes this event truly special is its unique beach setting. Where else can you watch monster trucks like “AmeriCrush” and “ZombieCrusher” perform jaw-dropping stunts with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop? The combination of roaring engines, flying sand, and ocean breeze creates an atmosphere you simply can’t find at traditional indoor arenas.

Monster Truck Rides All Summer

While the main Monsters on the Beach event happens annually, monster truck enthusiasts can enjoy rides and smaller shows throughout the summer season. From mid-June through Labor Day, and on weekends during spring and fall, the monster truck rides on the beach near 4101 Boardwalk let you ride in actual monster trucks (weather and track conditions permitting). These rides give families a chance to feel the power of these mechanical beasts firsthand.

Rides depend on the season and the weather, so check the ride schedule before you go.

Perfect for Families and Thrill Seekers

The beauty of Monsters on the Beach lies in its broad appeal. Young children are mesmerized by the sheer size of these mechanical giants, while teenagers and adults get their adrenaline fix from the high-speed races and crushing demonstrations. The event typically features multiple performance times throughout the weekend, usually with afternoon and evening shows; the organizer posts the times.

Why Stay with Coastal Collection

For the October show, Coastal Sands Inn at 4110 Atlantic Ave is the Coastal Collection hotel open, a few blocks from the beach venue. Book Coastal Sands For summer monster truck rides, all five of our hotels are open from April and are a few blocks from the beach.

There’s something magical about watching the sun paint the Atlantic Ocean in shades of gold and pink while most of Wildwood is still asleep. Those early morning moments on our free beaches offer a completely different perspective of this beloved shore town — quieter, more peaceful, and absolutely breathtaking.

The Perfect Time to Rise

Wildwood sunrises typically occur between 5:30 AM and 7:00 AM depending on the season, with summer offering the earliest shows around 5:45 AM. The golden hour actually begins about 30 minutes before the sun breaks the horizon, so plan to be on the sand by 5:15 AM for the full experience. The sky starts with deep purples and blues, gradually warming to vibrant oranges and pinks before that first brilliant ray pierces the Atlantic.

Prime Viewing Spots Along the Shore

While Wildwood’s entire coastline offers stunning sunrise views, certain spots provide the clearest eastern horizon. The beaches near the Wildwood Boardwalk’s northern end offer unobstructed views with convenient access paths. Many early risers gather around the area near Schellenger Avenue, where the beach is wide and the dunes are lower.

For those staying at any of Coastal Collection’s five locally-owned properties — Coastal Sands Inn, Paradise Inn, Beachside Resort, Sunset Beach Hotel, or Sunrise Inn — you’re perfectly positioned just a short walk from these prime viewing areas. No need for early morning drives or hunting for parking; simply slip out in comfortable clothes and flip-flops.

What Makes It Special

Early morning on Wildwood Beach reveals a completely different world. The famous boardwalk is quiet except for the occasional jogger or fellow sunrise enthusiast. Seagulls patrol the empty sand, and the rhythmic sound of waves becomes the only soundtrack. As one local photographer described it, “the sun reflects like diamonds as it rises out of the sparkling blue sea.”

Wildlife is more active in these early hours too. You might spot dolphins feeding offshore, sandpipers racing along the water’s edge, or hermit crabs scurrying across the sand. The cooler morning air makes for comfortable walking, and photographers love the soft, golden light that makes everything look magical.

Making the Most of Your Morning

Bring a light jacket or sweatshirt — even summer mornings can be cool near the ocean. A thermos of coffee or hot tea adds to the experience, and don’t forget your camera or phone for photos. Many visitors find that this quiet time becomes their favorite part of each day.

• ✓Arrive 30 minutes before sunrise for the full color show
• ✓Bring layers — morning ocean breezes can be chilly
• ✓Pack a small blanket for comfortable sand sitting

Whether you’re staying at one of our boutique properties or renting one of our private Airbnb accommodations, you’re never more than a few minutes’ walk from these unforgettable sunrise moments. There’s no admission fee to Wildwood’s beaches, making this one of the most affordable and rewarding experiences during your stay.

Planning a beach vacation when you or a family member uses a wheelchair doesn’t mean compromising on fun or accessibility. Wildwood’s five-mile stretch of free beaches offers excellent wheelchair access, and staying at one of Coastal Collection’s five locally-owned hotels puts you within walking distance of multiple accessible beach entrances.

Beach Access Ramps Throughout Wildwood

Wildwood takes beach accessibility seriously, with beach access ramps at various entrances throughout the island. These ramps help guests using wheelchairs, strollers, or wagons reach the sand more easily. You’ll find public beach access points at numbered street ends in North Wildwood, making it easy to find an entrance near your accommodations.

The ramps are well-maintained and designed to handle both wheelchairs and beach equipment. Whether you’re staying at our Beachside Resort or Sunset Beach Hotel, you’ll be close enough to multiple access points to choose the most convenient one for your daily beach visits.

Beach Wheelchair Rentals Available

Don’t have a beach wheelchair? No problem. Beach wheelchair rentals are available through the City of North Wildwood Recreation department. These specialized wheelchairs feature wide, balloon-style tires that roll smoothly over sand, making beach exploration much easier.

For Wildwood Crest visitors, there’s an even more convenient option. The city offers a beach shuttle service from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. Simply call their headquarters at 609-522-3825 when you’re ready to head to the beach, and they’ll provide a ride from the street end down to the shoreline.

Accessible Boardwalk Transportation

Getting around the famous Wildwood Boardwalk is easier than ever with accessible transportation options. The newer tramcars are wheelchair-accessible and stroller-friendly, running until around midnight during peak season. This means you can enjoy the boardwalk’s shops, restaurants, and attractions well into the evening without worrying about transportation back to your hotel.

Why Choose Coastal Collection for Accessible Stays

Staying at one of our five locally-owned properties puts you in the perfect position to take advantage of Wildwood’s accessibility features.

A short drive north of Wildwood lies one of South Jersey’s most charming coastal gems — the Sea Isle City Promenade. This paved walkway along the beach offers ocean views, a family-friendly atmosphere and a refreshing change of pace from the bustling Wildwood Boardwalk.

What Makes Sea Isle City Special

Unlike Wildwood’s action-packed boardwalk, Sea Isle City’s Promenade is all about relaxation and scenic beauty. The Promenade runs about 1.5 miles, from 29th Street to 57th Street, with views of the Atlantic and the beach alongside. It’s the perfect spot for morning jogs, sunset strolls, or simply sitting on one of the many benches to watch the waves roll in.

The Promenade connects several key areas of Sea Isle City, including the main shopping district along Landis Avenue and the popular beach access points. You’ll find everything from casual beachside cafes to upscale seafood restaurants within walking distance of the Promenade.

Top Activities Along the Promenade

The Promenade isn’t just about walking — there’s plenty to see and do. Anglers can head to the city’s fishing pier on the bay side at 59th Street and Sounds Avenue.

• ✓Excursion Park, on the Promenade around 40th Street
• ✓Designated volleyball beaches at several streets in recent seasons, including 30th and 35th
• ✓The Play by the Bay playground at Dealy Field (59th to 63rd Streets, Central Avenue)
• ✓A farmers market on Tuesday mornings in season, at Excursion Park

Dining and Shopping Near the Promenade

The blocks surrounding the Promenade offer excellent dining options for every taste and budget. Mike’s Seafood, at 4222 Park Road on the bay, is a casual local favorite for seafood, including crab cakes.

Shopping enthusiasts will love browsing the unique boutiques and surf shops scattered throughout the area. Many stores feature locally-made jewelry, beachwear, and home decor items that capture the essence of Jersey Shore living.

Planning Your Day Trip from Wildwood

From Wildwood, take the Garden State Parkway north to Exit 17 (Sea Isle Boulevard), or take the slower, scenic Ocean Drive north through Stone Harbor and Avalon. Either way it is an easy day trip from any of our five locally-owned hotels or private cottages. Pack a cooler with snacks and drinks, as you’ll want to spend several hours exploring both the Promenade and the beautiful beaches below.

When the sun sets over Wildwood, the boardwalk transforms into a glittering wonderland of lights, sounds, and endless entertainment that rivals any major theme park.

Classic Boardwalk Amusements

The heart of Wildwood’s nighttime magic lies in its three massive amusement piers that stretch out over the beach. Morey’s Piers features over 100 rides and attractions, including the iconic Great White roller coaster and the towering Giant Wheel that offers spectacular views of the coastline. Adventure Pier houses the thrilling SkyCoaster and ropes courses, while Surfside Pier caters to families with gentler rides and classic carnival games.

Most rides operate until 11 PM during peak summer season, with some staying open until midnight on weekends. Individual ride tickets start around $1.50, but all-day wristbands (typically $35-45) offer the best value for thrill-seekers planning to stay late.

Boardwalk Dining and Treats

Wildwood’s boardwalk comes alive with the aroma of famous boardwalk treats after dark. Curley’s Fries remains open late serving their legendary seasoned fries, while Kohr Brothers offers soft-serve ice cream until the crowds thin out. For a more substantial meal, Doo Wop Coffee Shop provides classic diner fare with their retro 1950s atmosphere perfectly complementing the boardwalk’s vintage charm.

Don’t miss the saltwater taffy shops like Shriver’s, where you can watch the taffy-pulling process through the windows. Many candy shops stay open until 10 or 11 PM, making them perfect for a sweet ending to your evening stroll.

Games, Arcades, and Entertainment

The boardwalk’s arcade scene is legendary, with Nickels Arcade offering everything from classic skee-ball to modern video games. Many arcades stay open until midnight during summer, providing climate-controlled entertainment when the evening gets too warm or if a brief shower passes through.

Street performers and musicians often set up along the boardwalk in the evening hours, creating an impromptu entertainment district. You might catch everything from acoustic guitar sets to impressive magic shows, all adding to the boardwalk’s vibrant atmosphere.

Evening Beach Activities

While Wildwood’s free beaches offer amazing daytime fun, they transform into a peaceful retreat after sunset. Evening beach walks are particularly magical, with the boardwalk lights creating a stunning backdrop against the ocean. The wide, clean beaches provide plenty of space for evening volleyball games, frisbee, or simply relaxing on the sand while listening to the waves.

Beach fire pits are allowed in designated areas with proper permits, making for perfect evening gatherings with family and friends.

Planning Your Evening Adventure

The best boardwalk evenings start around 7 PM when the temperature cools and the crowds reach their peak energy. Most attractions wind down between 11 PM and midnight, though some restaurants and arcades may stay open later on busy weekend nights.

Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as you’ll likely cover several miles exploring the 2.5-mile boardwalk. The evening ocean breeze can be refreshing, so consider bringing a light jacket even during summer months.

Two iconic Jersey Shore destinations, but only one offers the perfect blend of family fun, free beaches, and that authentic shore vibe you’re craving. Let’s settle this debate once and for all.

Beach Experience: The Clear Winner

Here’s where Wildwood absolutely dominates. While Seaside Heights charges beach fees that can add up quickly for families, Wildwood’s beaches are completely free — and they’re some of the widest, cleanest stretches of sand on the entire East Coast. We’re talking about beaches so expansive you can set up camp far from crowds, with lifeguards on duty and pristine conditions maintained year-round.

Seaside’s beaches, while nice, are narrower and often more crowded. Plus, those daily beach badges? They’ll cost a family of four around $40-50 per day during peak season. In Wildwood, that money stays in your pocket for funnel cake and rides instead.

Boardwalk Battle: Different Vibes, Different Crowds

Seaside Heights built its reputation on MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” and that party atmosphere still dominates. The boardwalk caters heavily to the college crowd and nightlife scene, with bars and clubs taking center stage. It’s loud, it’s intense, and it can feel overwhelming for families with young kids.

Wildwood’s boardwalk strikes the perfect balance. Sure, we’ve got thrills — Morey’s Piers offers some of the most exciting rides on the East Coast, including the Great White roller coaster and the legendary Giant Wheel. But we’ve also maintained that classic family boardwalk feel with games, traditional treats, and entertainment that spans all ages.

Accommodations: Local Charm vs Corporate Chains

Here’s where Wildwood really shines. While Seaside Heights is dominated by large chain hotels that lack personality, Wildwood offers authentic, locally-owned accommodations that actually care about your experience.

Coastal Collection Hotels operates five distinct properties right in the heart of Wildwood — from the retro-chic Sunset Beach Hotel to the family-friendly Beachside Resort. Each has its own character, but all share the same commitment to genuine hospitality you won’t find at corporate chains. Plus, we offer private Airbnb rentals for groups wanting extra space and privacy.

• ✓Walking distance to both beach and boardwalk from all properties
• ✓Local owners who know the best hidden gems and can give insider recommendations
• ✓Unique character and charm in each hotel — no cookie-cutter rooms here

The Food Scene: Quality vs Quantity

Seaside Heights focuses heavily on typical boardwalk fare — which isn’t necessarily bad, but options can feel limited and overpriced. Wildwood offers both classic boardwalk treats and genuine local restaurants that serve everything from fresh seafood to authentic Italian cuisine.

Plus, staying at one of our properties puts you within walking distance of local favorites like the Crest Tavern for authentic South Jersey pizza or the Washington Inn for upscale dining when you want to dress up a bit.

The Verdict

While Seaside Heights has its place for party-seeking twenty-somethings, Wildwood delivers the complete Jersey Shore experience. Free beaches, world-class boardwalk attractions, authentic local hospitality, and that perfect blend of excitement and relaxation that makes shore vacations memorable for everyone in the family.

When you stay with Coastal Collection Hotels, you’re not just getting a place to sleep — you’re getting local expertise, genuine care, and the best location to experience everything Wildwood offers. That’s a combination Seaside Heights simply can’t match.

Planning a birthday celebration at the beach? Wildwood’s five-mile stretch of free sandy beaches and iconic boardwalk create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable party that kids and adults will talk about for years.

Beach Party Basics That Work Every Time

Start with the obvious advantage — Wildwood’s beaches are completely free, so you can host a large group without venue costs eating into your party budget. Set up near the lifeguarded areas between Schellenger and Andrews Avenues for the safest family-friendly zones.

Pack a beach wagon with essentials: pop-up tent for shade, cooler with ice and drinks, beach chairs for adults, and plenty of sunscreen. The key is arriving early (around 9 AM) to claim your perfect spot before the crowds arrive.

Boardwalk Adventures for Every Age

When beach time winds down, the boardwalk offers endless entertainment just steps away. Morey’s Piers features three amusement piers with rides ranging from gentle kiddie attractions to thrilling roller coasters. Birthday packages often include ride wristbands and reserved picnic areas.

For younger children, the Dinosaur Golf mini-golf course near Schellenger Avenue provides prehistoric fun, while older kids gravitate toward the arcade games and prizes at Nickels Midway Pier.

Creative Beach Games and Activities

Transform ordinary beach time into party magic with these crowd-pleasing activities:

• ✓Sandcastle building contest with small prizes for creativity
• ✓Beach scavenger hunt with seashells, driftwood, and colored rocks
• ✓Water balloon tosses and relay races in the sand
• ✓Beach volleyball or frisbee tournaments for active groups

Bring a portable speaker for beach-appropriate music, but keep volume considerate of nearby families. Many successful parties incorporate themed decorations that work with ocean breezes — think colorful pinwheels and weighted tablecloths.

Making It Easy with the Right Home Base

Staying with Coastal Collection Hotels puts you within walking distance of both the beach and boardwalk, eliminating transportation headaches for party logistics. Our five locally-owned properties — from the family-friendly Coastal Sands Inn to the beachside Paradise Inn — offer the space and amenities that make party planning seamless.

Many families book connecting rooms or our private Airbnb rentals to accommodate larger birthday groups. Having a nearby home base means easy trips back for forgotten sunscreen, quick diaper changes, or when someone needs a quiet break from the excitement.

The combination of free beaches, walkable entertainment, and comfortable accommodations makes Wildwood the ideal spot for stress-free birthday celebrations. Whether you’re planning for a toddler’s first beach party or a teenager’s adventure-filled day, the memories you’ll create here last far beyond the birthday cake.

When the sun sets over Wildwood’s famous boardwalk, the mini golf courses light up with neon colors and family laughter. With some of the most creative and challenging miniature golf courses on the East Coast, Wildwood offers evening entertainment that’s perfect for all ages and skill levels.

Classic Boardwalk Mini Golf Adventures

The heart of Wildwood’s mini golf scene runs right along the boardwalk, where Douglass Putt-N-Go has been entertaining families since the 1960s. This classic course features windmills, castles, and water hazards that have challenged generations of vacationers. Located at 3400 Boardwalk, it’s open until midnight during peak season, making it perfect for after-dinner family fun.

Just a few blocks south, Congo Falls Adventure Golf transports players into a jungle adventure complete with waterfalls, caves, and tropical landscaping. The 18-hole course winds through multiple levels, creating an immersive experience that feels like exploring an ancient temple.

Themed Courses Beyond the Boardwalk

Venture off the main strip to discover Pirate’s Den Blackbeard’s Cave, where swashbuckling adventure meets putting precision. This pirate-themed course features a full-size ship, hidden treasure, and challenging holes that wind through caves and around cannons. The attention to detail makes it feel like stepping into a pirate movie.

For sports enthusiasts, Golf-A-Rama offers both traditional mini golf and a unique baseball-themed course where you putt through miniature stadiums and diamond-shaped obstacles. It’s particularly popular with families who love America’s pastime.

What to Expect: Prices and Best Times to Play

Peak hours run from 7-10 PM when families finish dinner and head out for evening entertainment.

• ✓Snack bars and restrooms available at major courses
