Daily News | Ocean City daily and weekly beach tag fees will double next year
OCEAN CITY, N.J. — It will cost more to sit on the beach in Ocean City next season, in some cases double.
Seasonal tags purchased before May 31 will now cost $30, up from $20. After May 31, the seasonal cost will be $35, up from $25. “We do view this as a user fee,” he said. “We have to maintain 7 miles of beaches. To reiterate, yes it has been many, many years since we’ve revisited this. We’ve tried to hold the line as long as we could.”
One resident, William Hooper, noted the city’s median home price of more than $900,000 and suggested the city leave daily and weekly fees alone and make up the shortfall with seasonal fees. “This shouldn’t be a way for the city to share the pain of the increased expenses,” he said.
