Who Can Resist This Blue? Morey's Piers is a Photographer's Dream!
Every summer I search for that perfect spot combining beaches, ferris wheels, waterslides, and vintage carousels—and this year I found it: Morey's Piers & Beachfront Water Parks! 📍 Location: Wildwood, New Jersey Just over an hour south of Atlantic City, about 2.5 hours from NYC by car. You can also take NJ Transit + Uber for a day trip or weekend getaway. 🕐 Hours: Peak season runs from late May to early September, with rides open from noon to 11pm. Avoid weekends if possible—we went on a weekday afternoon and barely waited in line! 🎢 How to Play? This park is actually three parks in one: • 🎠 Mariner's Pier (family-friendly, classic carousel) • 🎡 Adventure Pier (thrill rides for adrenaline junkies) • 💦 Raging Waters (epic waterslides) Buy a combo pass for the best value—or single-area wristbands if you're short on time. 📸 Photo Tips: • Use a polarizing filter for vibrant colors—best light is 2-4pm! • For the ferris wheel: Shoot from afar with a telephoto lens or pose under Mariner's Pier for a backlit silhouette. • Capture waterslide action with a fast shutter speed! 👟 What to Wear: Bright colors + quick-dry fabrics! Bring a swimsuit + change of clothes. 💡 Pro Tips: • Lockers are available for bags. • The ocean breeze is strong—reef-safe sunscreen is a must! If you're dreaming of a cartoon-perfect summer day, this is your spot. 🎢✨ #SummerVibes #BoardwalkFun #JerseyShore #AmusementPark #Waterpark
