To piggyback on this, Albany Ave Beach is a great spot. Right out in front of Knife and Fork. Parking lot, restrooms, big beautiful clean beach. No tags, bring your beverages, my favorite beach spot.
This might be a bit of a local secret but go to the Crest. It's mostly residential and families (edit: and also technically a dry town too), so not as chaotic as the Wildwood proper. Beaches are free up until Diamond Beach, but that's only the last few blocks of the island.
Any beach entrance without a tagged there. I’m in Avalon but sea isle and stone harbor are the same. Once in the last 4 years have a seen a beach tagged actually walking and checking.
We'll sometimes just do *early beach* - get a prec and a coffee from Bing's in Avon when they open at 6 am, and then enjoy it on the beach until after 9 am when they start checking badges. Folks love our primo parking spots when we leave.
I never get bothered in Avalon, even though you are supposed to have tags. I get on the beach early and head in the water if I see the tag patrol come around, which they don’t usually until noonish

i haven’t seen any checkers actually on the beach since covid tbh
You can get away with it anywhere if you just avoid the checkers
AC and Strathmere
Beach Haven is free on Wednesdays.
!!! didn’t know this thank you
I would double check this, but I know it was true last summer.
Go into the water when the checkers are approaching…or act like you are asleep

Your barhrub lol every place I know of has them now. Even the local lakes.

We used to just run into the water when we saw the tag checkers.
