Wildwood Beach Day 2021

It was about a year ago we filmed our "Going to The Beach During A Pandemic" video.
I decided that since covid has calmed down a little that we should give you an updated video to show you what life is like now on the beach.
Let me know what you think!

Wow !! I haven't had Wildwood Beach Sand between my toes since 1976. Once you get away from all of the changes that have taken place on the boardwalk since the 70's, and start walking that long North Beach hike towards the water's edge, it's almost as if the 70's never left us. By way of your video, I'm practically feeling everything you're experiencing : The hot sun on my shoulders, the tepid ocean water washing up on my feet, the faint sound of the thousands of conversations going on between the beach-goers, the aroma of suntan lotion everywhere, the (sometimes) burning sand against the soles of my feet, the engine of the airplane skirting high along the shoreline, the crashing of the waves, and of course, the sight of the fudgy-wudgy man making his way across the beach. I know I left a lot of things out. It's almost an overload of the senses. I will say one thing that's changed about that beach. Other than perhaps at the lifeguard station, I never saw ANY flags along the beach in the 70's.

Seems like a dream since we haven’t been on vacation for so long. Have spent many, many years in Wildwood Crest. Thanks for the beautiful video!

[@nicholegallo1090]

My family has been going their for 103 years each and every year. I’m going back in about a week and still so very excited

[@jencrecelius3565]

Agree that parking was a nightmare, even during the week. Just came back from a North Wildwood trip two weeks ago and we were only a block from the boardwalk thankfully, so we didn't move our car much from the motel at all. While I'm glad for the cities and businesses picking up this year I honestly enjoyed it better last year with the smaller crowds myself.

[@runcol2]

North Wildwood all the way! We like 22-24! Can’t wait to go back again this summer. My most favorite place in the whole world. 🏖

[@geraldhague6170]

Hey joey i just got back today with my girlfriend we stayed at Bolero as i always do for last 20yrs see Evrything open beach's are crowded ocean water just rite temperature and no restrictions

[@conniemccollam2605]

Just came back from North Wildwood on Sunday, had a wonderful time. Restaurants are crowded & long waits , but that was over 4th of July. Just love that place. Made reservations for 2022.

[@MASTERGAMER-pj1wq]

Joey just wanted to say your videos helped me through the last year i watched them every day. I wear earbuds so i can listen to the waves crash and the gulls in the background. It was my beach therapy c u next week..thanks again

[@peanf11]

We normally stay at the ivanhoe motel or malibu we are canadian waiting for the borders to open i miss the ocean so much cant wait to be there .....since 1975 ...

Excellent video. Captured the sense of my first time in Wildwood (61 years ago). Going back next month for the 21st time.

[@pitman6992]

Man, I wish I was there! Instead I'm watching this on my 6pm-6 am 12 hour night shift n it's killin me!!!😬 Thanks 4 another awesome video Joey!!!❤😎👍

[@jamesmulhern6733]

Brings back happy times for sure. I walked that beach many times selling papers . Even the ice cream men are using different type of carts. Back in the day they carried a freezer box strp on there shoulders. I waalked the entire length of the beach north bound first from garfiels ave . Than back to garfield for later edition and heaaded south to diamond beach. I love the north wildwood beach the most i would finish up my long day which started at 10 am by returning down the beach to 18th stree and then home. we lived between new jersry and new york on the 18th street. Just down thw block from the old woody's cafe which i saw was torn down in one of your vedios. lIKE I SAID MANY HAPPY MEMORIES AND AFTER SEEING YOUR VEDIO I THINK BACK MORE ON THEM. THANK YOU FOR SHARING HAPPY BEACH DAY.

[@kennseefert9286]

My wife and I really enjoyed watching this video, Joey, and a big thanks to you for it! We've not been on the beaches of Wildwood for quite sometime (many different reasons) and this was done so well that it was like we were there. Especially loved "going for a swim" as the ocean looked so clean and inviting. Glad to know about the baskets for help keeping the beach clean upon entering too. We are always so thankful to All the Lifeguards as they have a challenging job on a daily basis, and know they are all so committed in keeping all the beach visitors safe when they're swimming. They're also very responsive and considerate when anyone goes to them with any questions. Again, thank you for your videos as we love them all since you give so much information that we can use. By the way, we've not gone to this particular part of Wildwood beach, and we want to go asap. Years ago, we'd usually go to the beaches in the Crest, but the walk to the water's edge is a bit too far now we think so seeing this vid is helpful!

[@gmsvalley]

It hurts me so much to see what I am missing again this year. We usually sit near 19th ave. Hopefully the borders will reopen soon between Canada and USA.

[@johnchojnowski8790]

My Grandmother had a house on 13 Av between Surf and Ocean ! I think the address was 410 ! She built the home in the late 50 ,s .

[@RamondoWildwood]

Thanks Joey, you outdid yourself. We can't wait. Our week is August 22. I'm making a list of all my favorite foods to bring and all the restaurants I want to visit. I have many wonderful childhood memories of North Wildwood in the area of 5th Street. I still mourn the loss of Moore's bar and restaurant and Westy's. What a great way, it was, to spend an afternoon.

[@edde333]

Awesome video! That was an cool day with you at the beach. Really good to see all of the people enjoying themselves. And you should have known better when dad got you with the December joke. Lmfao. 🤣 Love ya brother. Tell the wife I said hello. 💪

Nice job on the Mack’s pizza pin. Mack’s my favorite.

[@theresaeisenhard8251]

Hi Joey!! Gonna have to make our way up that way. We have been all over but since we stay at AAHeart of Wildwood we just head right down to the Beach when we come down the steps from our hotel and up the boardwalk then right down the steps again onto the sand and down to the beach!! Love watching your videos. I am from Allentown Pennsylvania and my husband and I come down every year since we were kids with our parents, we later bought our children and hoping to bring the grandchildren next year!! Your videos are fun to watch. I watch them over again in the Winter because I Miss the Beach at Wildwood NJ and it gets me ready for the Summer Season. Thanks Joey you are Awesome!!!❤️😊🏖🏝🌞

[@jean8784]

Thank you for bringing fun to the beach. Good job Joey.

North wildwood is the best ! Man thank you for bringing us to the beach ! I really felt I was there enjoying the waves and sun ❤️👍🏻

[@ManzaMediaTV]

As a kid, we’d always park by the big whale 🐋 mural to go to the Boardwalk down in Wildwood. But we used to stay at La Quinta Towers in Wildwood Crest/Diamond Beach area! It was always a fantastic vacation.

[@shirleynitka5030]

nice to see the beach busy. I remember a time when people flocked to the motel pools. The ocean is always best! I love a gully

[@davidmorsse5437]

I like all the wildwood beaches

[@theusual7033]

Around 2 years ago I started to notice that I was starting up a fear of the ocean (mainly what could be underneath it like seaweed) and I stopped going in the ocean despite how fun it is. So this 14:00 actually felt like I was in the ocean but I didn't have to worry about feeling anything cause its a video lol, really cool, your amazing!

[@daveyoder9231]

How about sharing your favorite beach supplies? Love your views of the South Jersey scene.

Hey. I finally got down to Wildwood last week. It definitely changed since 2018 (the last time I was there). I didn’t want to leave. It was a great 3 day two night stay.

[@susan8654]

Thanks Joey looks like big fun! Yes you are correct best lifeguards in Wildwood New Jersey. My old friends who I lost contact with George Altiri and his brother where life guards many years ago in the late seventies early 80s. They were the best they helped me find my nephew when he got lost so I agree with you. Wish I haven't lost contact with George Altieri he was a great guy he dated my girlfriend, so if you're out there George hello.

[@josephf.447]

Awsome video Joey i'm coming down there soon i'm so excited

[@sheilasrock9424]

Thank you Joey. I'll be down in September.

[@HorseRacingNut]

Wildwood Crest beaches around Charleston & Pittsburgh Aves. because my parents lived there from 1975-2011. Best part is this area probably is the shortest distance to the water. I love walking the shoreline from the Crest to North Wildwood, the sand in South Jersey is the best!

[@healthynutritionknowledge]

Over the past few years we have really come to love Wildwood Crest because that’s where we stay, but we like to walk up and down the coast near the water during our week or two of vacation (plus that way the sunburn is even by the time we leave 😉😎)

[@pamm8608]

So nice to see the Wildwood beach. Your video is great. I feel like I am there. Even in the water! Best beaches and surf (for swimming and bodysurfing) in the world! :)

[@hannahduggan3599]

I went to Wildwood Beach yesterday with three of my little brothers, Joseph, Zach, and Jeremiah. Here's how it went. I woke up and changed into my bathing suit and beach clothes. I went to the boys' room to wake up my brothers. Zach said, "I'm sleeping. I'll take you guys to the beach in the morning." I told him that it was already 11 something AM and that I was already all dressed and packed up to go to the beach. He then woke up and I went to wake up my other brothers. Jed said that he wasn't gonna go since his tummy was hurting. Seth said that he also wasn't going because he was gonna have people over. Isaiah also said that he wasn't going because he just didn't wanna. So, after we were all ready, Zach first drove us to the store so he could buy stuff, like chicken, water, Joseph's ice-cream bars, and Jeremiah's Trolli gummy worms. Then we brought the stuff back home. Then Zach drove us to CVS so I can get my sunscreen. After CVS, he took me to the bank so I could get some money. After the bank, he drove us all to Wildwood. It was a long drive, which gives me a bad headache and bad chest pains. But when we got out, I started feeling better. Then we got to the beach, where we had to walk for a very long time. We set our stuff down on the beach and I stripped down to my bathing suit and went to swim in the water. I also collected some seashells. The boys also swam in the water. After we swam in the water, Jeremiah dug his toy crab, Herman, in the sand. Zach and Jeremiah gave me some beautiful seashells. I even found a beautiful seashell myself. After that, we all did some sunbathing. Jeremiah then started looking for his crab by digging in the sand. He even said in his cutest little voice, "Herman, where are you?" Me, Joseph, and Zach, all helped him dig. We used a shovel and even our hands. We spent hours digging in the sand until we found Herman. I put my clothes back on, but a different shirt. Then we all went back to the car, where the boys changed into their normal clothes. We then went on the boardwalk, where we went on some rides and played some games. I won a stuffed pig, which I named Wilbur. We al had so much fun. For dinner, we stopped at Joe's Pizza and had some pizza. But then, we all went home. It was a long car ride, which made my head and chest hurt. When we got home, we all went in. We told Mommy about everything. I even showed her my seashells. Then I went to bed while all the boys went to take their showers. I took a shower this morning.

[@JPrice601]

The tide cones out far and comes in far, the best beach in NJ

[@XVNRX]

@@zack9777 the walk from the boardwalk to the water is sooo long lmao High tide must be scary as hell if it reaches the boardwalk

[@HorseRacingNut]

@@XVNRX back in the 1960s (I was a young kid) and we stayed innNorth Wildwood (around 21st St.)… I recall be scared to go on the boardwalk because you could see the water under it during high tide. Through the decades the tides have considerably changed. I often wonder if in the future the tides will ever revert back to the 1960s and North Wildwood begins to see the beach shrink and what will happen to all the structures built on the ocean side of the boardwalk 🤔

[@XVNRX]

@@HorseRacingNut the beach has quite a distance from the boardwalk to the water it’s crazy , I’m so use to Atlantic City lol I wonder if they’re building another pier or something, there’s crane trucks on the sand next to one of the piers

Joey, I've enjoyed the work you've been doing with these videos. This latest one brought back visceral memories of my countless afternoons on the Wildwood beaches - starting in my pre-teen years in the 1970s and right into the early 2000s. Sadly, it's been quite a few years since I've experienced a Wildwood beach day, but thanks for taking us for a swim with you. (Are you using a cellphone camera for these, or some other gear?
