Spanning 4.2 miles (6.7 km) with a negligible 18 feet (6 metres) of elevation gain, this 32-minute ride is perfect for families and casual cyclists looking for a scenic, low-effort outing.

What to expect on Boardwalk loop from Wildwood
This route offers a diverse journey, starting with glimpses of the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge before transitioning to the iconic Wildwoods Boardwalk. You'll glide past vibrant amusement piers, shops, and eateries, with expansive ocean views stretching out to your right. While the terrain is predominantly flat and includes paved sections, be aware that some parts of the wooden boardwalk can have loose boards that rattle under your bike. The ride is easy and family-friendly, though navigating crowds later in the morning can be the main challenge.
Planning your visit
For the most peaceful experience and stunning views, plan your ride for early morning to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. Bicycles are typically permitted on the Wildwoods Boardwalk from 5:00 AM until 1:00 PM daily, though some sources suggest an 11:00 AM cut-off, making an early start essential. Bike rentals are readily available throughout the Wildwoods, with many shops opening as early as 6:00 AM. Look for dedicated "bikes only" lanes along Surf Avenue in North Wildwood and wide, paved beachfront paths in Wildwood Crest.
