New Jersey Shore Access Ranges From No Cost to $150 for Season Passes

Badge prices at New Jersey beaches run from zero to $150 this summer. Five towns let visitors in without paying a cent, but others ask for fees that sit at the top of the state’s price list.

According to the Daily Voice, Wildwood, Wildwood Crest, North Wildwood, Strathmere, and Atlantic City won’t charge you. Families on tight budgets gravitate toward these spots when mapping out their trips.

Harvey Cedars asks just $7 per day — the cheapest among towns with badges. Stone Harbor wants $8, while Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Ship Bottom, and Seven Presidents Beach each request $10. Asbury Park splits its pricing: $7 on weekdays, $10 on weekends.

Ventnor and Margate sell preseason passes at $10 apiece, rewarding those who buy ahead.

Loch Arbour tops the list with $150 season passes, plus daily fees running $10 to $15. Mantoloking trails close behind at $145 for the season and $15 daily.

Spring Lake charges $110 for full-season access but demands $20 per day — the steepest single-day price anywhere. Sea Girt sets season badges at $115, with $12 daily tickets. Ocean Grove asks $105 for the season and $13 per day.

Monmouth Beach and Avon-by-the-Sea both price season badges at $110.

Sandy Hook lets people walk in without paying, but cars must pony up $20 per visit or $100 for season parking.

Many towns still offer preseason discounts through May. This window gives beachgoers one last shot at securing cheaper rates before peak prices kick in.

Town websites show how to buy passes for each spot.
