Wildwood / Woodbridge - Time to head to the Wildwoods for summer vacation again only to read in Spout Off that many locals think I take advantage of their "free" beach and should be charged. It sounds like I am a freeloading visitor. I wonder how many locals are aware of the 14% local and tourism tax that I pay which adds an additional $250 a week to my stay, half of which goes to the local gov., or how much money I spend supporting local restaurants and the 20% tips that I leave for my local waiters and waitresses, some of whom might be your sons, daughters, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews. Free beach? Really?
