Seaside NJ Beach Info Needed

[Joe Z]

Hi Everybody,
I know some of you out here are from New Jersey and need your help........ I will be taking a trip late May from Arizona to the Seaside Hts NJ Area (Toms River NJ) to visit relatives.....I will be bringing my Minelab Xterra 705..... I have three coils to try out there... the 9" stock MF concentric coil and a 5x9DD HF and a 6"DD HF coils which i will try all three to see which works best but my Questions are:

1) Can i legally detect there getting on the beach to the Ocean during the day from the boardwalk if i pay the fee?_______

2)What time can i get on the beach from the same boardwalk location when there is no fee?am and pm______

Would also like to detect under the boardwalk too as many must drop things thru the boardwalk.

This place used to be my childhood hangout when i lived there but that was many, many years ago (1967 era)

Any help on this area would be a big help as i really don't want any run ins with the Law.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe I think most of the beaches in and around that area start charging around 9 am and stop charging around 4/5 PM.

I usually hit them before 8 and after 4 or 5 in the afternoon. If you get a beach badge you should be fine anytime.

The Beach by me start checking badges anywhere between 7-8 and will continue until 5. You also have to pay for parking until 7 here. Now in seaside and point pleasent areas I think there is paid parking even past that. as for a beach pass i think the season pass is like 120 something so the day pass is probably like 10. I know some people have been asked to leave the water when the life guards go off duty.

thanks briman05
Belmar is a great area as i used to fish the back waters there for flounder in early spring and take the party boats out for blues, stripers etc. being my in-laws live in toms river and friends near pt pleasant will probably just work those areas..... used to hang out in sea bright,sandy hook also. really miss the jersey shore..... i take a lot of ribbing out here in Arizona when i mention that (NJ Shore) as their attention goes right to that show.LOL
thanks for the info,
Joe
