Access
Short walk

Take the New Jersey parkway south and launch from either 123rd street or from 10th street in North Wildwood. Remember Corsen's Inlet is a huge area and you may have to go over some bridges and or walk a bit to get to the best spot for the wind direction.

Extra information

Rules
Zones, Time

No kiting down there between 10 and 5pm during summer. People are launching from the Catamaran Beach. Watch out for the fenced areas for bird nesting! Ask where you can surf if it is during the summer season. Use a leash, otherwise the spot can be closed real quick. Be cautious to beach goers. They were there way before you and will remain if you get kicked off. Remember you will probably be the only kiter so they will be curious and annoying. Just use your head and be safe. Don't expect to see any other kiters.
