The Wildwoods, NJ – May 13, 2025 – As Memorial Day Weekend approaches, a series of proactive measures are being implemented in the Wildwoods to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors. The Wildwoods have long been known as a safe, family-friendly vacation destination, and its zero tolerance policies have been a main contributing factor for that reputation. The additional safety measures will provide even greater protection for all visitors.
With the unofficial kick-off to summer, public safety remains a top priority, and the following actions are being taken in the resort throughout the holiday weekend and all season:
- A 10:00 p.m. curfew for those 18 years and younger will be enforced on the Boardwalk nightly.
- Backpacks are prohibited on the Boardwalk at all times to enhance safety and reduce potential risks.
- Increased law enforcement presence will be visible across the island and on the Boardwalk, including support from city, county, and state agencies.
- Protective bollards have been installed at all Boardwalk entrances to control vehicle access and ensure pedestrian safety.
- Advanced state-of-the-art surveillance cameras have been installed along the full length of the Boardwalk for real-time monitoring.
- Enhanced social media monitoring will be conducted to identify and prevent large youth gatherings and unauthorized “pop-up” parties before they begin.
- Rental property regulations have been updated to limit occupancy and discourage large, unsanctioned parties.
“We want everyone to feel welcome and enjoy the Memorial Day festivities here in The Wildwoods. At the same time, we are taking a firm stance on public safety. These measures ensure a safe, family-friendly atmosphere for all. As always, we extend our sincere thanks to our public safety officials for their dedication and commitment to keeping our community safe,” explained Louis M. Belasco, Greater Wildwoods Tourism and Improvement Development Authority Executive Director.
