The city of Wildwood passed an ordinance Thursday that bans the "mere existence of any kind of alcohol" on the beach and boardwalk there ahead of the summer season.
In a release, the city said Mayor Pete Byron, Deputy Mayor Krista Fitzsimons and Commissioner of Public Safety Steve Mikulski introduced the stricter legislation in a May 10 Wildwood Commissioners meeting. Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
"Alcohol of any kind has always been prohibited on the beach and boardwalk. In fact, there is already a sign at every street entrance to the beach. This new ordinance not only prohibits the drinking and/or open display of alcohol, but also says the mere existence of any kind of alcohol is prohibited," Mayor Pete Byron said in a statement.
