The Ortley Beach section of Toms River, North Wildwood and Stone Harbor are among the places where tides and strong winds took their toll — wiping away massive amounts of sand, and producing “cliffs” near the diminished dunes, officials in those towns said
“North Wildwood is experiencing significant erosion of its berm and dune,” the corps said in July 2021. “What was the largest beach in the state now suffers from tidal flooding and wave run-up over a formerly protective beach. North Wildwood has lost approximately 1,000 feet of beach during the past 5-10 years.”
