Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
On Friday, May 15th, the Maryland Avenue Municipal Beach will be reopened. Beach Associations will be given the option of also opening at that time and most have chosen to do so. There will be a daily limit regarding the number of groups allowed on the beach at any one time in order to allow sufficient space for proper social distancing. The following rules will apply at Maryland Avenue:
- Badges will be required on Memorial Day Weekend and weekends only throughout early June. Starting June 20th weekend, badges will be required at all times. Seasonal badges can be purchased from Aquaserve by going online to www.aquaservelg.com to print and send in badge forms, or on location during operating hours.
- Daily badges will be offered at the entrance and credit card is the preferred payment method for a contactless transaction.
- The Beach will be held to a maximum capacity limit. When daily capacity is reached, no more patrons will be allowed. Purchase or possession of a seasonal badge does not guarantee admission when capacity has been reached. First come, first served.
- Swimming will only be permitted when badge checkers and lifeguards are present, using the badge checking schedule above.
- Maintain a minimum of 6 feet of distance from groups you did not arrive with at all times. Those failing to do so will be asked to leave.
- No groups of 10 or larger will be allowed on.
- No dogs will be allowed on the beach.
- Badge checkers will be wearing masks and gloves. Beach goers are encouraged to wear a mask when in line waiting to get on the beach, masks will not be required once on the beach.
Temporary, State of Emergency parking restrictions will go into effect on May 15th as well. State of Emergency placards have been sent to all homes in Point Pleasant Beach and should arrive by the end of the day this Thursday. The rules are as follow:
- All parking East of the railroad tracks will require an emergency placard to be displayed at all times.
- 15 minute parking will be allowed if patronizing a business for curbside pickup.
- Contractors, landscapers and delivery drivers will be exempted while actively engaged in work.
- 2 placards will be issued per household. Residents with driveways are encouraged to utilize those fully.
- If additional placards are an absolute necessity, you may contact town hall to discuss.
- We anticipate rolling back the temporary parking restrictions sometime in early to mid June as we move towards a broader reopening.
