Icona Diamond Beach - Your Boutique Escape in Wildwood Crest

Icona Diamond Beach sits directly on Diamond Beach, one of the only guarded beaches in New Jersey. Guests have private access to this beach along with complimentary chairs, umbrellas, and towels set up daily by the staff. The property also has a heated outdoor pool, a children's splash pool, and beachfront fire pits for evening gatherings.

Each air-conditioned room includes a full kitchenette with a cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, and Keurig. Select suites have private balconies with ocean views, and room types range from Value Double Suites to Premium Studio Kings. The rooms are laid out as suite-style spaces with separate living and sleeping areas, plus a TV in both the living room and bedroom.

The hotel operates two on-site dining venues: Coastal Blue Restaurant and The Star Beach Bar. Coastal Blue specializes in seafood and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with locally sourced menus, while The Star Beach Bar offers signature drinks and bar food right on the sand. Live entertainment and beach concerts run during the summer months, and happy hour is offered daily from 3 to 5 p.m.

The hotel runs a kids' club with activities such as painting sea shells, marshmallow roasting, and other arts and crafts. A separate children's splash pool and a shallow end of the main heated pool keep younger swimmers safe. The complimentary shuttle service to the boardwalk and the beach buggy rides to the private beach make moving large families easy.

Wildwood Boardwalk is 4.5 km from the hotel, and Morey's Piers & Beachfront Waterparks is 4.4 km away. The hotel provides a free shuttle to the boardwalk as well as valet parking and accessible parking on site. Cape May Lighthouse and other local attractions are within a 15-minute drive, making the hotel a convenient base for exploring the southern New Jersey shore.
