Jersey Shore towns have already started to announce 2025 beach badge pricing, including daily and season tags.
Most New Jersey beaches require paid badges or tags, with pricing ranging from daily passes for $3.50 to seasonal badges that will set you back $200. If you plan to spend a lot of time at one beach, a number of towns offer pre-season discounts on season badges.
More than a dozen beaches offer free entry to veterans, and many have discount options for seniors and those with disabilities. Entrance is generally free for young children.
