Wildwood’s monster truck show on the sand is Monsters on the Beach, and it runs in the fall. In 2026 it was presented by the Renegade Monster Truck Tour on the sand at Spicer Avenue. The 2026 shows, first set for September 25-27, were postponed after severe coastal flooding left the beach arena underwater, and were rescheduled to Saturday and Sunday, October 17-18, 2026. 2027 dates have not been announced yet.

What Makes Monsters on the Beach Special

• When the show returned in 2023 after a three-year absence, the Wildwoods tourism site described it as a popular staple of the Wildwoods’ “second season” in the fall.
• Past shows have included monster truck races and truck pulls on a course built on the beach.
• The location on the beach has changed over the years: Lincoln Avenue in 2023, Schellenger Avenue in 2024 and 2025, Spicer Avenue in 2026.

The 2026 Schedule

Here’s how the rescheduled 2026 weekend was listed by the Wildwoods tourism authority:

• Saturday, October 17: shows at 12:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.
• Sunday, October 18: one show at 12:30 p.m.
• On the sand at Spicer Avenue
• Tickets bought for the original September dates transferred to the new dates automatically, per the Wildwoods listing
• For 2027 dates and updates: RenegadeMonsterTrucks.com or 717-209-6113

Monster trucks are loud, so bring ear protection, especially for kids, and dress in layers for changing fall weather at the beach.

Where to Stay for Monsters on the Beach

From mid-October through April, Coastal Sands Inn, 4110 Atlantic Ave, is the Coastal Collection hotel that stays open. It is a few blocks from the beach and the Boardwalk; the 2026 shows were set on the sand at Spicer Avenue. Beachside Resort, Sunrise Inn, Paradise Inn and Sunset Beach Hotel reopen around April 1.
