Officials in Wildwood have already dealt with a chaotic start to the season after rowdy groups of teens on the boardwalk forced the resort to declare a state of emergency over Memorial Day Weekend.
The emergency ordinance, which went into effect immediately, prohibits backpacks on the beaches and boardwalk from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m."It's important to let everybody know Wildwood is not going to sit back and let this rowdiness continue," said Mayor Ernie Troiano.

I hope it is a smooth ride," said Joseph Toland, owner of Old Time Photo Studio in Wildwood.The new policy follows an earlier curfew that was instituted in the spring.
"Between the curfew regulation and this new backpack ban, it's going to help with that," noted Wildwood Police Chief Joseph Murphy."I would love for the state to sit down with our police departments and say, 'How can we help you?'" he said. Earlier Wednesday, an independent hearing of state police chiefs and Republican lawmakers was held via Zoom to discuss shore safety concerns.
