The beaches are also free in one of New Jersey's most populated tourism areas - Wildwood.
As someone that lives in a beach town, I largely question the beach fees. I don't know any towns that offer a discounted beach rate for those who live in the town and I think that's pretty ridiculous. The beach fees are to pay for lifeguards, beach cleanup, and police - mainly to protect against the offset of visitors from outside the town. So, why do residents have to pay the same amount when our taxes are already helping to pay for such things? justifiedright wrote: > > --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com > <mailto:AsburyPark%40yahoogroups.com>, "dfsavgny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > You clam diggers were bred on paying for the beach.
