Steve, you're a Wildwood guy...definitely.
Seriously...Belmar. Beach tags are easy to get and cheap, from what I recall. There's not really any touristy things, but they have a great beach, and there's a playground for the kids.
If you're looking for something more kid-oriented, you might want to go with AC, OC or Sea Isle.
Boy, Kitsune, you are just a funny man today. First, you bag on our ribs (I'd say they're grilled far more than they're boiled or parboiled)...now, you're taking shots at our beaches. Yep...you've got an ass-whipping coming to you.
I've taken some photos of Cape May, AC and Belmar over the past few years...now if I would just get them developed...
