Wildwood /wildwood crest is also a great choice for the family vacation, I’ve been going there my whole life as a kid and now with my kids…great beautiful free beach (best in nj) plus the best boardwalk with a lot of rides…but good summer rentals are going fast…anywhere on the shore, you gotta get your crew together and book something soon…

Just I would avoid point pleasant… the beach there is like just gravel and ground up sea shells, not really sand, and it has a crazy steep drop off at the water, my wife and 4yo daughter almost drowned last time we were there…
