If a competitive edge is more your style, the frisbee golf course along the beach is a fantastic way to engage the whole family.

For those inclined towards more team-oriented activities, kayaking tours allow you to explore local waterways in groups, guiding you through some of the most picturesque spots along the Jersey shore.

Relaxing Beach Pastimes for All Ages
Nothing epitomizes a family vacation like a day packed with fun, relaxing beach pastimes that every person, young and old, can enjoy. Our beaches provide the perfect backdrop for building majestic sandcastles that defy gravity, thanks to the ideal sand consistency, which is just sticky enough to mold but firm enough to hold its shape. Collecting seashells is another tranquil activity, turning a casual stroll along the beach into a treasure hunt that fascinates kids and preserves delightful memories in tangible forms.
For those seeking lighter activities, flying kites or just flipping through a book under an umbrella provides a peaceful retreat. Our beach’s consistent breezes and spacious sands create optimal conditions for kite flying—a visually captivating hobby that brings a smile to everyone’s face. These moments of quiet relaxation are crucial in balancing out an active itinerary, giving you time to recharge under the sun with the soothing sounds of the ocean in the backdrop.

Another popular event is the Wildwood Crest Sandcastle Competition, held annually. Whether you’re a competitor or a spectator, the creativity and skill displayed in these sand sculptures are astonishing.
