PRESS RELEASE
NORTH WILDWOOD - City of North Wildwood officials have proposed temporary restrictions on cabanas, tents, canopies and other similar structures for the 2024 summer season.
Types of shaded structures that would be permitted under those regulations include circular umbrellas that are a maximum 8' in diameter and 7',6" in height, and baby tents that are 36" in height, width and length.
The reason behind the proposed restrictions is due to the size of the city's beaches becoming extremely limited because of the lack of assistance received for a beach replenishment project. This has caused beachgoers to set up much closer to one another during the busy summer months.
Unfortunately, the city does not have enough dry beach space to handle the many tends, cabanas, pavilions or other similar structures we have seen in the past. The proposed temporary restriction will allow the influx of beachgoers to have some additional room to enjoy one of the busiest amenities in the city.
This proposed restriction on shaded structures is temporary for the 2024 season at this time. If city officials notice a significant change in the size of our beach, by way of a beach replenishment project or accretion, then City Council will intend to revisit the proposed restrictions.
The restrictions will go into effect beginning May 15, 2024.
