Reply to comment by Maximum-Excitement58 in Can someone explain the justification for having "private" beaches? It seems like access to natural attractions should be free. by SnooBooks4898

Not just ocean beaches, lakes as well. Many NJ ocean beaches charge an access fee.

Charging an access fee is not the same a being “private”

All the beaches in Pt pleasant are owned by the Jenkinson family. Plus the own pretty much everything on the boardwalk. Only beaches in state or federal parks are public while charging a fee to use the park.
