I cannot believe I just read-that the cost of daily beach badges in Sea Isle for next summer will go from $5 to $10! Holy cow, If there is one more reason to not go to the pay for beach as a local? This one’s it. Thank goodness for Strathmere. The sad part? Because I have to go to Strathmere as a local because it’s free? I bypass what Sea Isle has to offer in terms of food and merchandise. I go to Strathmere then go straight home. If it was more enticing $$$ wise for a local to go to Sea Isle beaches? I’m more apt to spend money there. Oh well!
