Boardwalk

The Boardwalk loop from Wildwood offers a delightful touring cycling experience, blending the lively atmosphere of the Wildwoods Boardwalk with serene ocean vistas. You'll pedal along flat, paved sections and classic wooden boardwalks, passing by vibrant amusement piers and shops. Early morning rides are particularly magical, allowing you to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, with wide beaches and dunes providing a picturesque backdrop before the crowds arrive. This easy, family-friendly route is a fantastic way to soak in the unique charm of the Jersey Shore.

To make the most of your ride, aim for an early start; bicycles are generally permitted on the boardwalk from 5:00 AM until 1:00 PM daily, though some restrictions may apply earlier. This timing helps you avoid the busiest crowds and enjoy a more peaceful journey. Bike rentals are widely available in the area, often opening by 6:00 AM, making it easy to get started even if you don't bring your own.

This 4.2-mile (6.7 km) loop, with its minimal 18 feet (6 metres) of elevation gain, is a quick 32-minute ride that showcases the Wildwoods' commitment to "Bikeability." The route seamlessly connects to dedicated bike lanes and beachfront paths, offering a safe and enjoyable experience for all skill levels. It's a perfect way to explore the area's landmarks, from the Wildwoods Sign to Morey's Piers, all while enjoying the fresh sea air.
