The Wildwoods' dog-friendly beaches and parks are now open!


PRESS RELEASE

The Wildwoods, NJ - The Wildwoods' dog friendly-designated beach on Glenwood Avenue is now open!

From May through October, every four-legged friend has this special, designated place to call their own. Just to be safe, all dogs have to be licensed, must always be leashed, except inside the dog park, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their four-legged friends. Social distancing must also be practiced by owners.

The Wildwoods Dog Beach has been named one of the Top 10 'Best Dog Friendly Beaches' in the 10Best Readers' Choice travel award contest sponsored by USA TODAY.

USA TODAY 10Best teamed up with BringFido.com to nominate the 20 most dog-friendly beachees in the nation. The Wildwoods Dog Beach received the second highest number of votes, ranking it #2 overall in the nation.

Tails have been wagging as dogs make their way across the Boardwalk, and onto the sand as they approach the 25-foot-tall Fire Hydrant Sculpture at the Dog Park - right at the entrance to the Dog Beach. The Dog Park is completely fenced-in, so your furry friend has enough room to run and stretch their legs, and is also separated into two sections - one for large breed dogs, and the other for small breed dogs.

As with the Dog Beach, all dogs entering the Dog Park must be licensed, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their four-legged friends. The block-and-a-half-long, 190-yard-wide area is open from 6 am until dusk, and this section of the beach is well equipped with all-furry amenities including water stations and signs reminding doggy owners to clean up after their loved ones equipped with free plastic bags for scooping after their pets.

Additional dog friendly recreational attractions throughout the Wildwoods include Sunset Lake, the Sea Wall in North Wildwood, and the Wildwoods Bike Path

Dog Friendly Accommodations

When you're on vacation, it's often hard to find accommodations to suit the entire family. Below is a list of dog friendly places in the Wildwoods. Hotels, motels and short-term rental properties opened in Wildwood and North Wildwood on Tuesday, May 26. Wildwood Crest properties will open on Monday, June 1. Please call to confirm that the hotel/motel of interest is reopening and that dogs are welcome.

Short-term rental properties, like all aspects of reopening the Wildwoods for summer, will take measures to meet social distancing guidelines by initially opening at 60 percent capacity. Increased sanitizing and cleaning protocols, especially in high-touch areas, will be encouraged to ensure an optimal visitor experience. Additional measures may include having later check-in times to allow additional time for guest room preparation and enhanced sanitizing.
