A guide to 2026 beach badge prices on the Jersey Shore

It’s never too early to start planning a beach trip.

As summer nears — and a particularly unpleasant winter recedes from memory — the beach towns of the Jersey Shore are readying for another busy season.

Some beaches require badges or tags — prepaid entrance fees for visitors. And to make things easy, we’ve compiled a list of this year’s badge pricing.

It’s good to keep in mind that prices can vary significantly by beach, and that some charge for parking.

Many also offer early-bird specials, as well as discounts for seniors, children, and veterans, so be sure to check the official websites of the Shore’s beach towns for the most up-do-date pricing and information.
