FREE Beaches In New Jersey To Enjoy

The "unofficial" start to summer in New Jersey is here with Memorial Day Weekend. Folks are going to be flocking to the Jersey Shore, and the stars of this show, of course, are our beautiful beaches. Yes, I am a bit loyal lol but I think we do have some of the most beautiful beaches anywhere in America.

Of course one thing that is different about our beaches that is not the case everywhere else is that it costs money to enjoy our beaches. You need a "beach badge" that you purchase and this practice has been a subject of debate for some time now. Most beaches in New Jersey require a beach badge and costs vary from town to town.

Some beaches in the Garden State are free—yes, that's right! Did you even know that 13 beaches are absolutely free to use? Let's examine this list that I came across from New Jersey Digest.
