Badge Fees



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, and for disabled individuals (see limitations below). Belmar also offers free beach admission to active members of the military and their families through “Operation: Thank You.” Click here for details about this program, click here.

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.
