Are the days of having at least some free beaches in New Jersey numbered?
With hopes we could see a normal summer in the Garden State and visions of heading down the shore for some fun in the sun, there continues to be talk about adding beach fees to beaches that have historically been free.
The latest is Strathmere in Upper Township.
Local officials will consider a beach fee ordinance that would go into effect this year. Strathmere would not offer daily badges, only seasonal passes at $25 each. Mayor Richard Palombo said the money is needed to offset more than $300,000 to maintain a lifeguard squad.
