A wide beach that appeals to families.

I grew up in Wildwood Crest. I know these beaches well. I've fished, surfed, and played on them forever. They are free, spacious, and we'll kept. From North Wildwood to Wildwood Crest these beaches are among the best at the Jersey Shore.

North Wildwood is clean, quiet, residential but Close enough to the boardwalk. The coupons and literature in the hotels will help you to figure out where you want to eat, go for entertainment, take the kids. Everything is close by and convenient.

The Cape May County Zoo is such a beautiful Zoo, the grounds are well kept, the animals are well cared for. The admission is free! Just be kind and give a donation as you drive in!

4. The Wetlands Institute

This nature center features exhibits on local marine life, along with activities like kayaking and dune walks.
Reviewed By muffinAvon - Avon
Our group of five (including a 4 1/2 year old) visited the Wetlands on a cloudy day with rain expected. First we saw a short movie (which could be updated to include more recent information perhaps) as well as a brief introduction by a guide. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything so that it was easily understood. It turned out that she was also our guide for a tour of the salt marsh. It was fascinating to learn about the osprey, the terrapins, their mating habits and egg laying, the mud in the marsh, the grasses etc. There was a walkway that took us through the marsh as we learned. Our granddaughter said that she really liked learning "so much". We also visited the aquarium and felt the exhibits there were very well done. Another highlight was the fishing. The guide helped our granddaughter and other little ones cast a small net and pull in some little shrimps and crabs! She was able to see how these little creatures hid in the grasses and dirt and when caught would jump around in the water bucket! What a treat! Finally we browsed in the gift shop. It had an excellent collection of books for children that continued the learning process. The Wetlands Institute was the perfect place to go on a non-beach day!
5. Hawk Haven Vineyard and Winery

4.5 based on 358 reviews
Three generations of the Wuerker family have lovingly cultivated the farmland at Hawk Haven Vineyard and Winery. The sandy soils and ocean breezes provide the perfect conditions for great grape growing. Vineyard guests taste our diverse collection of wines at the extra-long mahogany bar and meander through the vines with bottles of wine and picnic baskets. Tastings are educational and enjoyable. Please join us, our tasting room is open daily, year round with live music, tours, and a lunch menu on select dates.

I stopped by Hawk Haven Winery yesterday. My dad is on hospice, with not much time left, and I had a break (I'm his caregiver) and have been wanting to visit this winery. I did a tasting and it was so nice and the staff were great and I left with 5 bottles of wine and a lighter spirit.

We met Topaz, Maybelline, Leah, and so many more. We were given carrots to feed the alpacas. My mother has a walker and we prearranged by email for the visit. Tish and the delightful people shared their knowledge with us. They were all helpful with mom. We bought pretty hats, gloves, and more. Thank you for a great visit.

9. Sea Isle Parasail
Overall Ratings
5 based on 80 reviews
Imagine soaring high above the Atlantic Ocean in a specially designed parachute while being towed behind a high tech speed boat. Our custom built winchboats are “state of the art”, utilizing a hydraulic launch and recovery system. This provides for easy take-off and landings directly from the flight deck of the boat. Each ride is under control for an effortless ocean thrill ride.

We told the kids if their report cards were good for the last semester, they would get to go parasailing.
With good grades, we had breakfast on Sunset Pier then walked the few steps to the parasailing. My daughter was nervous and my son was excited and they did a tandem flight. By the time it was done, they didn't want to leave.
They enjoyed the crew and said the flight was quiet and they could see everything. They saw dolphins from up high and thought they could see Wildwood.
Great experience, next time my wife and I go!

Avalon and Stone Harbor are the two towns on this barrier island.
Reviewed By raindrops554 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
If you are looking for a beach that is quieter than Ocean City but still has a lot to do this is a great option. Beach Tags are required but there is a lot of beach and places to park all your gear and hunker down for the day. Parking was easier to achieve; it wasn't metered and you didn't have to pay to park in a lot. It is metered along the shopping.
We usually arrive in the morning and stay till afternoon and while there are a lot of people the beach still seems pleasant. Everyone was friendly and the our little ones had a great time playing in the sand; running around and enjoying the ocean.
