What’s Open This Weekend In The Wildwoods July 10th – 12th
As we head into the weekend let’s do our recap of what will be open this weekend in the Wildwoods.
Please keep in mind that with covid-19 rising some of these things could change.
The biggest change is that the NJ Governor mandated that face masks must be worn outdoors when social distancing isn’t possible. If you want to read about the order click the link below.
Currently New Jersey is in Stage 2 of the covid-19 reopening. This most recent opening announcement, which was on July 2nd, opened a full list of things to do.
Those include;
Museums
Aquariums
Libraries
Bowling Alleys
Indoor Batting Cages
Boardwalk Arcades
Outdoor Waterparks
Casinos
Playgrounds
Outdoor Amusement Parks
In addition to these the Governor has allowed boardwalk games and pools to reopen last month.
So does this mean for down here.
At this time our Boardwalk is allowed to be open. Waterparks, Rides, Games, Stores and Arcades can open with restrictions.
These restrictions include;
Arcades only allowing 25% capacity
Amusements only allowing 50% capacity
Restaurants only allowing outdoor dining or carry-out
Morey’s Piers is open BUT will only offer LIMITED rides. At this time only Mariners Pier (with limited rides), Surfside Pier (with limited rides), and Raging Waters water park will be open this weekend.
Morey’s Piers had to make a ton of changed to ensure everyone’s safety. One of those changes is a gate and reservation system. For full details on this click the link below.
With the rising of cases the Governor has postponed the opening of indoor dining.
Most restaurants on the boardwalk and off the boardwalk are open for business. Restaurants have already started their outdoor dining. If you want to watch a video on how that looks click the link below.
Many boardwalk businesses do not have an outdoor seating area which would mean that they are could be take-out only.
The beaches are open to sit and enjoy! Be sure to swim near a lifeguard.
Bars are open for drinks to-go. This is something very new. If you want the full article click HEREbut the gist is that now you can get drinks from your favorite bar and take it home to drink it.
Mayor Pete Byron used his executive power to close Pacific Avenue to traffic to help businesses be able to use the Right-of-Way in front of their stores for dining tables. From Schellenger Ave to Spicer Ave the streets are closed creating a “Pacific Avenue Mall.” You can watch a video tour of this mall below.
Motels and Hotels ARE open! Give your favorite spot a call and see if they have any rooms open. Pools will be allowed to open on June 22nd (Click the link below for more details)
