Beach Badge Fees. Might as well just put them on layaway for awhile.

With all my tax money involved in this Sandy stuff I think I already paid for a lifetime membership.
Where will we all sit since most of it was washed away.

Brick needs a nude beach. I like an all around tan.

BrickAmericanMan December 7, 2012 at 01:34 am

all nj beaches are supposed to be free since tax money was used to fix them.

i'm suprised beach owners aren't currently charging to get on the beach now w/ all those who want to go and see what the damages are. as for the beach badge fee,LOL this is real joke by the Twp.

No kidding.

You would think.

Now I saw footage of Pt. Pleasant Beach and the beach got so much deeper in length. I don't understand that.

KC December 7, 2012 at 06:11 am

Why is it that the people we least want to see are the nudists?

Thats what the parkways was eventually gonna be like. Now look at things, tolls have gone up from 25 cents all the way up to 75 from toms river to brick over the years. Anyone remember those parkway coins, heheh...

Since all of our taxes will be going up ( including people that do not even use the beach) in order to open the beaches & its clean up, doesn't that mean we are already paying for it?? shouldn't any beach town resident that has been threw enough get a free season pass??? I mean REALLY that's the LEAST the town can do to give back...

Stephen Mader December 7, 2012 at 01:26 pm

Would some of you like a little cheese with your "whine"? Did you really expect anything different in regards to beach fees?

Art December 7, 2012 at 01:28 pm

Personally I'm happy to hear that beach badges are available and our beaches will be open by Memorial Day. From what I understand the $400K that the township collects in beach and parking fees goes entirely to run the beaches and not into the general fund to be blown on things other than what it should be spent on. And I'd rather pay the town I live in then some private land owner in Point Pleasant to use the beach. I'll be getting my badges early this year if it means helping to restore our beaches.

FOOOfree December 7, 2012 at 01:28 pm

that's asking a lot of the sun

Brick Prick December 7, 2012 at 04:42 pm

I live for the beach, I'm glad that they are reopening it !!
I just hope I don't step on nails and glass !! I hate the smokers totally disgusting !!!

Why is it that every time I read mayor Acropolis' quote, I picture him saying it wearing a grey suit with little white anchors all over it?

The beach badge debate has been brought up yet again, only this time from a state senator or assemblyman that does not represent the Shore. Millions of dollars are spent for "beach Nourishment" through federal $$. 75% paid by the feds, 25% by the state, and of the state portion the towns that receive the "nourishment", their share is 15%. This brings to the fore front the question of how much should the entire country pay to "fix" what maybe 1% of the country's population utilizes? This, while seems lighthearted now, hopefully will spark some much needed debate as to the virtues of spending money on what mother nature will most surely take away when ever she wants. i know many people will disagree with me, but we need to retreat from the coastline, NOT build closer to it or even rebuild what was there. On North Carolina's Outer Banks, when a home or structure is destroyed by a natural disaster, you are not permitted to rebuild there, EVER. This is a common sense approach to not constantly putting money in to save what, again will be taken away.
I know I will get a lot of flak for these comments, but what I say I believe to be true.

Brick Surfer December 7, 2012 at 06:57 pm

Clamdigger, No One owns the beach!

WMS826 December 7, 2012 at 08:41 pm

Sorry, can't afford the beach badge right now with this whole Obama thing, , but how is that new 300 feet of sand in your backyard that I paid for, sure wish you'd let me seei it for free and at least give me a Port a potty to use.

@brick surfer....thell that to the people who collect money for beach badges. i'm all for beaches being free and open for public access. I've lived in states where beach access is free and it's a great feeling to park and just walk on. the first few times i felt like i was going to be approached by someone looking for their money. free,immaculate and life guards on duty at most locations that's something the people in this state should have the chance of experiencing.

Vito December 8, 2012 at 01:42 am

Beaches should be free in Jersey.

C December 8, 2012 at 01:56 am

I'll wait until the last minute to buy any badges. I want to be optimistic but the realist in me is telling me it may not happen by Memorial Day. If it does, will there be a road to get there that won't take you 2 hours to get there?

shorecorruption December 8, 2012 at 02:48 am

I think i will wait on our's. I would like to know what is hidden in the sand,you know the sand they scraped up off the streets and put on the beach The guards better have a lot of band aids.

Watchman February 24, 2013 at 04:55 pm

Art. Almost true. The revenue from tickets issued at the beach parking lots goes to Brick P.D.This money,or at least part of it ,should go to the beaches.And no one will say how much it is.I bet it's mucho $$$$$

Watchman February 24, 2013 at 05:00 pm

This from the man who likes to pitch tents.Oh yea.Are we having fun yet ?
