NJ beach badge prices for 2024: How to get the best deals

NOTE: This is an update of a post that originally published in February 2024.

Summer is coming.

In towns along the Jersey Shore, lifeguards hit the beaches starting on Memorial Day Weekend. The holiday weekend is also when towns begin charging folks to step on their sand.

Municipalities along the Jersey Shore have published their pricing for badges to access their beaches in 2024.

And if you plan to visit the same beach several times this summer, you can save some money by purchasing a seasonal badge.

Below is a list of 2024 badge prices for some of the most visited shore towns in the state.

Accessing the sand is free in areas such as Atlantic City, the Wildwoods and Strathmere.
