S 2633 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits requirement for beach tag for access to beach below mean high tide line for recreational purposes.

This bill prohibits New Jersey municipalities from requiring beach tags or admission fees for access to the wet sandy beach area below the mean high tide line, specifically for recreational ocean use. It directly affects beachgoers seeking to access this public shoreline area and municipalities that previously enforced such fees. The key provision explicitly bans local requirements for tags or passes for individuals using the ocean recreationally in this zone. The law applies only to the area below the mean high tide line, not the entire beach.
