For many New Jersey Coastal Communities, Beach Tags and Passes have been a valuable source of revenue along with a novelty collector's item for Jersey Shore Visitors and Vacationers.

The original purpose when beach tags were introduced in New Jersey 100 years ago was to keep "Riff Raff" off the beaches. Today, this is the reason why some beachgoers will visit certain Shore Towns that don't require beach tags compared to others.

Yes, there are New Jersey Coastal Communities that do not require beach tags to use their beaches, a list that includes:

-The Wildwoods (North Wildwood, City of Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest
-Atlantic City
-Upper Township (Strathmere, Beasley's Point)

While some South Jersey Shore Towns are fighting the Trenton Politicians over controversial changes to Beach Tag laws, one Northeast-based company is offering to reimburse New Jersey beachgoers for Memorial Day Weekend.
