North Wildwood bans large tents, umbrellas, cabanas from its beaches due to heavy erosion

North Wildwood beachgoers are now limited to one eight foot round umbrella due to heavy erosion. FOX 29's Gregory Payne has the scoop.

Every day, beachgoers at North Wildwood are slowly, but surely seeing their beloved beach disappear because of beach erosion. "It’s sad, it’s sad, because we brought all of our kids here to this beach and probably can’t this year," said Gerri Comber, of Washington Township, NJ.Comber and her husband have been coming to North Wildwood Beach for years.

I think going back to a traditional umbrella just conserves the space and allows us to share the beach just a little bit better," said Roney.Those two sides are being represented by the Verchio family."If you think about it, the cabanas aren’t much different than an umbrella anyway if you measured the square footage of them so, I don’t see what the difference is," said Frances Verchio.
