Wildwood Bans Alcohol On Beach And Boardwalk for Upcoming Summer Season

Wow just in time for the most popular weekend down the shore, Wildwood is trying to stop any issues by banning alcohol on the beach and boardwalk for the upcoming summer season.

Ocean City has been dry for ages, Sea Isle City banned backpacks earlier this year. Seems like this all stems from the unruly teens the Jersey Shore has seen over the last few summers and people are over it. Numerous shore towns also have curfews for teens.

It’s a shame that people can’t act right because now all these new rules have to exist.

• Wildwood Mayor Did Not Hid His Passion About The Topic

  “We made it so that you should have no alcohol at all on the beach, opened, closed, in a bag, doesn’t matter … Every summer brings a different set of issues and everyone wants to know what we’re doing about it,” Wildwood Mayor Pete Byron told 6ABC.
