WILDWOOD — “The beach is great,” said Jason Harting, of Philadelphia, as he was exiting the beach with a group of friends this weekend. “I just don’t like having to walk around under layers of sand for the rest of the day.”
Finding a place to shower and change, Harting told this reporter, is definitely a challenge.
“It makes day trips kind of difficult,” he added.

Cold Showers at two block interviles is a must, if you want to atract first class tourists.
Redesign parking and the city would get its investment back tenfold. Take a page from Florida, Start welcoming tourists instead of rapeing them.

Good idea. but it can't be a public facility. At first this would attract those family day trippers we want, but soon it would evolve to use by all those types of people we do not want to attract, (and we cannot put that in print). Maybe we should go back to privately operatred changing areas. They should be expensive to use, but then a percentage of the cost could be returned in the form of discount tickets good for the remainder of that day.

This is so typical of the Wildwoods and the control of the Hotel Motel Association. They don't want day trippers! God forbid someone should come to Wildwood and NOT stay overnight. It has always been this type of backward thinking from this organization that holds Wildwood back. Maybe, just maybe a day tripper, if he had a nice time would come back and STAY!

Here's a clue, go home and take a shower and don't come back.

If you put showers then ,no one will spend any money, people come down park up the back streets leave there cars all day , get off beach change in car , eat there lunch,,then go to the board walk or go home, small fee should be charged

There is a shower house on 24th Avenue, a half block off the boardwalk.

Wake up Wildwoods. Tourists spend money, even day tourists. People need to clean the sand off after the beach. Take a look at Florida. All beaches provide shower spickets

it would be a good idea to invest some of the room and tourism tax to build simple shower spickets on the beach near the boardwalk. This would be a much better attraction for the tourism industry than buying the new dump truck for the public works dept. The city has all winter to design and construct a shower spicket on the beach.

Where are these foot faucets? I've never seen them.
