Chapter 227 Vehicles on Beaches
Beach regulations — See Ch. 33.
The purpose of this chapter is to protect the safety of those who frequent our ocean beaches from the dangers created by the operation of unlicensed and improperly equipped motor vehicles upon the borough's ocean beaches for recreation. Further, this chapter is designed to protect those who would otherwise unduly subject themselves, as well as others, to the dangers created by failure to maintain a properly equipped or proper type of motor vehicle.
The following rules and regulations shall be adhered to by all those operating four-wheel-drive motor vehicles upon the ocean beach in Seaside Heights.
Anyone desiring to operate a motor vehicle on the ocean beach in Seaside Heights for recreational purposes shall be required to apply to the Seaside Heights Police Department and pay a registration fee of $15 for said registration.
The Seaside Heights Police Department may, before issuing the aforesaid registration, inspect the four-wheel-drive vehicle in order to ensure that said vehicle is properly equipped for beach use and for fishing.
Upon issuance of the aforesaid registration, the registrant may be issued a key for a locked entrance to the beach to be designated by the Police Department. In the event that the registrant is issued a key, said registrant shall be responsible for securing and locking the ramp upon entering and leaving the ocean beach area. Failure to comply with this section will subject the driver to the penalties provided by this chapter.
Upon entering the ocean beach, no vehicle shall be operated within 70 feet of the boardwalk or pier areas.
There shall be no eating, sleeping or camping on the ocean beach at any time. In addition, it shall be unlawful for anyone to deposit wastes of any type, including, but not limited to, human, animal, vegetable, mineral or otherwise, upon the ocean beach.
No person shall operate a motor vehicle of any type for any purpose other than Seaside Heights official or emergency business upon the ocean beach at any time from May 15 through September 15.
During the remainder of the year, only four-wheel-drive motor vehicles equipped for beach and fishing use shall be allowed to be operated on the beach.
