Travel & Leisure has named the Jersey Shore one of its top places to visit in September. Atlantic City, Wildwood and Cape May all get special attention.
USA Today ranked Wildwood the best beach in New Jersey for 2026. Free, huge, and boardwalk-adjacent, sure, but is it really better than Cape May, Ortley Beach, or Asbury Park
Brigantine is lacking one "Jersey Shore staple", but it's actually why people who live and vacation there love this particular South Jersey beach town so much.
Wildwood's beaches are the top pick for best beach in New Jersey according to this list, and it’s easy to see why with free beaches and a lively boardwalk.
A fresh approach to community safety is taking shape along the coast, and families are rejoicing. It's all about timely action and strong police presence.
