A new bill that was recently introduced is looking to change that for those looking to partake in recreational activities like surfing and fishing at the Jersey Shore.

This includes surfing, fishing, and other recreational activities.<\/p>\n<p>Assemblywoman Donlon shared with <em>The Jersey Shore Girl<\/em> &#8220;As a lifelong surfer, I know how special the Jersey Shore is &#8211; I even moved to New Jersey because of our beautiful beaches. The goal of Bill A4816 is simple &#8211; to reinforce the Public Trust Doctrine and ensure consistent enforcement of public access to the ocean and the wet sandy beach below the mean high tide line for recreational purposes without needing a beach badge. It does not eliminate municipal beach badge systems for dry sand areas &#8211; we recognize how important they are for funding lifeguards, maintaining beach facilities, and keeping the beaches clean. As the bill moves forward, we are collaborating with local leaders, environmental advocates, and the Department of Environmental Protection to refine its details while staying true to the core principle of open ocean access. The ocean belongs to all of us, and this bill helps ensure that rights to ocean access are protected for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This post will be updated with any further information \u2014\u00a0the goal is to have the bill passed before the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/jersey-shore-local-summer-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">summer<\/a> season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themontclairgirl.com\/beaches-to-visit-winter-new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Jersey Beaches to Visit in the Winter<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow @thejerseyshoregirl_ on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thejerseyshoregirl_\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0to stay in the know with all of the Jersey Shore news + happenings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/events-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-120164\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/8-800x267.jpg\" alt=\"read more button\" width=\"450\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/8-800x267.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/8-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/8-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/8-1536x512.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/8.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>newsIn New Jersey, there are currently 14 beaches that are free to access.
