Daily Badges: The Most and Least Affordable Beaches

Here's our comparison of daily passes.

If you need a beach badge for one day, you'll need to pay at least $5 and often much more than that to get on the beach.

The cost between a weekday and weekend beach badge can vary widely across the Jersey Shore.

We compiled a list of least to most expensive daily beach badges for Monmouth and Ocean County. Check out where your favorite beach stacks up.
