Beach Fees: The beaches in northern NJ charge $11 a day and $140

Wildwood Crest - Beach Fees: The beaches in northern NJ charge $11 a day and $140+ for a season beach badge. Towns like Spring Lake take in over $1M a season but have a much smaller width beach to manage. They control each beach entrance while summer cops walk the beach all day long checking beach tags, alcohol and coolers. $60 Tickets are written daily. The Wildwoods would have a very hard time, mostly due to the beach size, enforcing similar success with beach tags. Each town would need to employ 100+ employees just to manage this initiative and hurt the local merchant at the same time.
