First and foremost...the beach...most are scheduled to open for Memorial Day Weekend but you should check in advance because some will be open daily, but some will operate on weekends only until mid-June.
Go Fly A Kite! The Wildwoods International Kite Festival Is On This Year
People travel from all over to fly their hand made, colorful kite creations on the beach behind the Wildwoods Convention Center. It happens this coming weekend starting Friday at noon. At night, you can take in the illuminated kite fly at Rio Grande Ave beach at 9 p.m! Now that's Instagram worthy. Monday will feature the World Indoor Kite Competition from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. inside the Center where kite fliers will show how they can fly a kite without wind. Really...that's a thing?
