Beach badges are required for admission to Belmar’s beaches from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on weekends only from Memorial Day weekend until the full season starts on the third Monday of June, when badges are required every day until Labor Day.
The fee for daily badges is $7 per day (children 15 and under are free). Seasonal badges are available for $50 and $15 for senior citizens, aged 62 and over with identification verifying age, and for disabled individuals (see limitations below).

Belmar Volunteer First Responders (First Aid and Firefighters) are admitted to the beach from free when showing their valid membership ID cards.
By law, all beach badge revenue is maintained in a separate Beach Utility Account and is used only to fund the direct and indirect costs of operating and maintaining Belmar’s beaches.
