Our Guide to a Budget-Friendly Jersey Shore Getaway in Wildwood, NJ
Perhaps you don’t think it’s financially possible for you to enjoy another weekend away in addition to your family vacation, but I am going to let you in on a little secret: it is very possible to enjoy a budget-friendly getaway to beautiful Wildwood Crest, NJ. And while we always help our guests to save whenever they travel, our insider secret is: save a fortune by heading to the Jersey Shore over Memorial Day Weekend!
Check Out Our Budget-Friendly Jersey Shore Tips Below:
- Start a vacation fund!
- Stay “off-peak” at a reasonably priced oceanfront motel (like ours!)
- Find a special deal (like ours!)
- Save on gas & beach badge fees
- Don’t overspend on food
Start Your Jersey Shore Vacation Fund
Now is the time to begin saving towards your weekend at the shore. Many guests have shared that they love to pick up odd-jobs to put funds towards their Wildwoods vacation, such as babysitting, tutoring, cleaning houses on the weekends, raking leaves or shoveling snow. (And don’t forget to request a gift certificate to the Armada By-the-Sea as a birthday or Christmas gift!) Let those visions of the ocean and sand between your toes keep you motivated to set that extra cash aside during the long winter months!
Stay At Armada-By-The-Sea for Quality Lodging and Family-Friendly Fun
The Armada By-the-Sea is proud to have been selected AAA’s favorite motel for the budget-conscious traveler, and while we think you’ll love our rates all summer (especially for an oceanfront motel!), you can save a lot by kicking off your summer with our exceptionally reasonable rates over the Memorial Day Holiday.
We even offer a Memorial Day Weekend Family Special for two adults and two children under 12 for even greater savings! No matter which room type best accommodates your family, you can reserve confidently knowing that every room at the Armada includes a balcony with a stunning view of the beach and ocean.
The ocean view and pool view rooms also overlook Centennial Park, which means that there is not a neighboring hotel or motel obstructing the view of the beach and ocean for two blocks – a fact that sets the Armada apart from many other hotels and motels in North Wildwood, Wildwood and Wildwood Crest.
Save on Gas & Beach Badge Fees
Since the Wildwoods are just a tank of gas away from a majority of the Tri-State area, your family won’t have to worry about expensive airfare or transportation fees. And since the Wildwoods are home to the only free beaches in New Jersey, your family can enjoy the entire weekend lounging on the sugary white sand beaches and swimming in the ocean at no additional charge!
Don’t Overspend on Food: The Wildwoods & the Armada have great budget dining options!
While there are plenty of amazing restaurants in the Wildwoods, it’s also very simple to have budget-friendly meals during a long weekend in town.
Get a Motel With a Kitchenette So You Can Dine In (While Enjoying Our Spectacular Beachfront View)
Many rooms in the Armada come equipped with kitchenettes Even if you rent a non-cooking room, you can take advantage of the small refrigerator and microwave to have a simple breakfast of cereal and fruit as you sit on your balcony and enjoy the view of the ocean. Make sandwiches for lunch (if you need to grocery shop, the Shoprite just off the island is cheaper than the Acme nearby).
For a budget-friendly dinner, simply take advantage of the large grill that is available for cooking up burgers and hotdogs and eat at the tables by the pool or on the large, oceanfront sundeck!
Low Cost, Highly Delicious Dining Options in the Wildwoods
For another option, go to Wawa for hoagies, pizzas, paninis, sandwiches or salads and eat on the beach while listening to the waves crash against the sand.
Be sure to grab a slice of pizza on the boardwalk to round out your budget-friendly dining this Memorial Day weekend. Check out Wildwood Pizza Tour for suggestions for the best pizza on the boardwalk – or do a pizza tour of your own to compare!
Armada By-The-Sea Hopes To See You This Summer!
