Wildwood has half a mile of spectacular sandy beach lined by a popular boardwalk full of restaurants and shops. In 2014, one part of the beach just off Poplar Avenue became an official dog beach and the owners can cross the boardwalk with their dog to get to the beach. The beach is almost two blocks wide and the dogs are allowed in the water and on the sand year round, but have to be leashed. There are fenced dog runs, one for small and one for big dogs, where the dog can run freely off-leash. You cannot miss the dog beach: It’s got a giant red hydrant in front of it.
