Beach badges for Brick Township are now available and Mayor Stephen Acropolis says the beaches will be ready on Memorial Day weekend, despite the damage from Hurricane Sandy in late October.
“Despite the significant trauma suffered on the barrier island, our three ocean beaches and Windward Beach on the Metedeconk River will be open for business on Memorial Day Weekend.” said Acropolis said in a statement.
The badges can be purchased from 8am to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Parks and Recreation Department office located in the Civic Plaza, 270 Chambers Bridge Road.
Beach badge rates remain at the 2012 price for the 2013 season, with a full season badge purchased before or on June 15 costing $25. Full season badges increase to $30 starting June 16. Cash, check and money orders are accepted.
For more information contact the Parks and Recreation office at (732) 262-1075.

With all my tax money involved in this Sandy stuff I think I already paid for a lifetime membership.
Where will we all sit since most of it was washed away.

Now I saw footage of Pt. Pleasant Beach and the beach got so much deeper in length. I don't understand that.

The beach badge debate has been brought up yet again, only this time from a state senator or assemblyman that does not represent the Shore. Millions of dollars are spent for "beach Nourishment" through federal $$. 75% paid by the feds, 25% by the state, and of the state portion the towns that receive the "nourishment", their share is 15%. This brings to the fore front the question of how much should the entire country pay to "fix" what maybe 1% of the country's population utilizes? This, while seems lighthearted now, hopefully will spark some much needed debate as to the virtues of spending money on what mother nature will most surely take away when ever she wants. i know many people will disagree with me, but we need to retreat from the coastline, NOT build closer to it or even rebuild what was there. On North Carolina's Outer Banks, when a home or structure is destroyed by a natural disaster, you are not permitted to rebuild there, EVER. This is a common sense approach to not constantly putting money in to save what, again will be taken away.
I know I will get a lot of flak for these comments, but what I say I believe to be true.

@brick surfer....thell that to the people who collect money for beach badges. i'm all for beaches being free and open for public access. I've lived in states where beach access is free and it's a great feeling to park and just walk on. the first few times i felt like i was going to be approached by someone looking for their money. free,immaculate and life guards on duty at most locations that's something the people in this state should have the chance of experiencing.

Since all of our taxes will be going up ( including people that do not even use the beach) in order to open the beaches & its clean up, doesn't that mean we are already paying for it?? shouldn't any beach town resident that has been threw enough get a free season pass??? I mean REALLY that's the LEAST the town can do to give back...

Would some of you like a little cheese with your "whine"? Did you really expect anything different in regards to beach fees?

Personally I'm happy to hear that beach badges are available and our beaches will be open by Memorial Day. From what I understand the $400K that the township collects in beach and parking fees goes entirely to run the beaches and not into the general fund to be blown on things other than what it should be spent on. And I'd rather pay the town I live in then some private land owner in Point Pleasant to use the beach. I'll be getting my badges early this year if it means helping to restore our beaches.

Art. Almost true. The revenue from tickets issued at the beach parking lots goes to Brick P.D.This money,or at least part of it ,should go to the beaches.And no one will say how much it is.I bet it's mucho $$$$$

Why is it that every time I read mayor Acropolis' quote, I picture him saying it wearing a grey suit with little white anchors all over it?

I'll wait until the last minute to buy any badges. I want to be optimistic but the realist in me is telling me it may not happen by Memorial Day. If it does, will there be a road to get there that won't take you 2 hours to get there?
