It’s close to the beginning of unofficial summer, which means many are planning to hit the beach in one of the Jersey Shore towns. The majority of beaches require beachgoers to have a badge or tag to access the beaches. Most towns charge $10 for a daily badge. The cheapest daily badge is available in Longport for $5.
