Jersey Shore Beaches Enforce Tent and Canopy Bans
Several Jersey Shore beaches are implementing new restrictions on beach tents and canopies this Memorial Day weekend to enhance safety and maximize space. Popular spots like Asbury Park and Sandy Hook have specific size limits for umbrellas, while North Wildwood and Brick Township have banned larger structures in lifeguarded areas. The changes aim to improve lifeguard visibility and emergency access. The restrictions come amid severe beach erosion and anticipated high travel volumes, with AAA predicting record-breaking Memorial Day travel.
