I live in Brick, NJ. I went with my family to Brick 1. The time was 4:05. Thinking the Lifeguards go home at 4:00. My husband and I are seniors. Free to us. But, the girls collecting the monies charged my children $16.00 to get into the beach with only 25 minutes remaining!! If I was for the beaches charging now I am against!! For that 25 minutes they totally ripped us off. This is no way to make people want to come back and guess what they made their donation and now they will not be back. Yes, I should have know they go home at 4:30 but for God's sack really for 25 minutes. Even if they were to have charged half the cost. Very Sad!!

I think beach tags are an outrage. Imagine paying $1,000,000 or more for a home in Avalon then be told that you have to pay another fee to use the beach. I am a veteran and Avalon gives me mine free, but every other member of my family has to pay. Outrageous

The purpose of beach tags was to clean the beaches but they use the money for other things like property taxes. Wildwood beaches are free and I see they clean their beaches every day.

Tourists pay a high tax rate on hotel rooms and sales tax on everything else as well as contribute to the economy indirectly through salaries paid to the thousands of people in the hospitality industries. And, on a lighter note, those of us from out of state didn't give you Chris Christy. You did that to yourselves!
