Dawn at New Jersey's 'Top Beach' of 2014.
Ocean City swept first place in all categories of the New Jersey’s Top Ten Beaches contest last year, and "America's Greatest Family Resort" is looking to repeat.
Before last year, “The Wildwoods” had been named “Top Beach” in four of the five years the contest had been held. Ocean City won in 2009.
New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium (NJSGC) and the
Richard Stockton College of New Jersey’s Coastal Research Center introduced the survey in 2008 to “inspire pride in and stewardship of New Jersey’s beaches while promoting a little healthy competition between New Jersey’s favorite beach towns.”
The contest is decided by online voters who are prevented from voting more than once. Winners traditionally were announced in the week before Memorial Day, but this year the balloting has been extended through June. Winners will be announced before July 4.
