Cal has professional lifeguards. You don’t have to pay to go to the beach. The beach is for everyone.
Horrible that NJ does that.
OT: Belmar beach badge checkers don’t fool around

Horrible that NJ does that.
These days, the neighbors of Columns, DJais, Osprey, Leggetts, Jenks and Tiki are all in that bucket. And basically anyone along Ocean in Asbury these days. That new mixed hotel/condo property has stuff with Sea Girt prices.
Though maybe the neighbors of those places, in their paltry 2 or 3M homes, used their street skills more than those on the 4 or 5M properties to see if a bar was on their block? It's an under the radar skill only those of from the middle class have!
Still no. LOL
But to be honest I don’t really sympathize with those that bought in close proximity to a landmark establishment.
Noise? You bought next to a bar.
Crowds? You bought next to a bar.
Patrons pissing or throwing up on your property? Ok then, that I could see someone getting annoyed. And rightfully so.

Check Zillow, but yeah, the Parker House was there before them. And relative to basically any other major shore bar, it's quieter and closes much early. Parker has always been known as much more of a daytime place.
I think AC had full time lifeguards earning 100k pensions or something absolutely crazy like that. When it came out people were understandably stunned.
Was just down there this weekend.
Seems the beaches are closed for the season.
Also, no beach badge fees. Obviously, the Casinos are probably helping foot the bill for beach services?
But just a bit South, Margate and Ventnor season badges are $10, seniors $3.50.
Why are they so expensive in Monmouth County?
Belmar -$80/$20
Spring Lake- $85/$37
Sea Girt $115/???
Not sure what OC charges for the day but i think $35 for season which is reasonable IMO, vets are free too. BTW, is that your house w/ the RU flag on the Belmar/Spring Lake border? I believe there is also a Fairfield flag too. Was up in that area Friday riding bikes and checking out the surf tournament. Went to lunch at Marina Grille.... nice spot but food was pretty average at best.
You’re being kind with food was pretty average. Another chefs international atrocity. Great settings but awful food.
such a shame w/ that location and the spot itself is kind of cool, even the pizza was meh
And they don't even validate for parking.
that was another odd thing, half the parking lot was free and the other half was meters.
Not sure which house you are referring to, but we do not live there--it's a rental. We fly only the confederate flag--that is a lame joke!
Oh that Marina Grille is sheet!
Our go to place in Belmar for quick is the Anchor Tavern, or better yet Comfi on Main Street, where at least a few years ago, you could get kielbasa and pierogis. Ragin Cajun, close to Marina Grille is also good.
I had heard about Comfi in Old Bridge when I worked in Matawan. Went to the one in Belmar about 3 weeks ago for breakfast. Food was good and you get a lot!
And you can get kielbasa as a breakfast meat!!! Can anyone tell that I like kielbasa? Polish roots run deep.
Had pierogi tacos there as special last fall. Deep fried pierogies sliced length wise to create the shell stuffed with your choice of filling (beef, chorizo or egg). Yea i opted for one of each. Great place.
My cholesterol increased 10 points reading that, and I am still all in. They were closed for a long while during the pandemic, and have not been since reopening.
Was expecting a more thorough renovation. Didn’t change all that much in the front of the house. Much of the Reno concentrated on updating the kitchen.
AC has always been free, I believe Wildwood too. IMO, despite growing up in Monmouth County, the water and sand is probably nicer in South Jersey. In the Monmouth County beaches you're basically paying more to be closer to NYC/North Jersey where everything costs more relative to the Delaware Valley. Though again, I live in JC now and when I'm at the shore everything feels relatively cheaper versus up here.
End of an era.

Sad day for the NJ shore. Was there a few times in June and once in August. Have a bunch of unused tickets. LOL! Curious to see what is pitched next for the property.End of an era.
