We need your voice! Assemblywoman Donlon has introduced Bill A4816, which promises to safeguard our right to freely access the beaches of New Jersey. This bill proposes that municipalities cannot charge beachgoers for access to the wet sandy areas below the mean high tide line. This change will allow everyone to enjoy the natural beauty of our coastlines without a financial barrier.

Why This Matters: Last summer, the incidents in Belmar highlighted a significant issue with beach access in our state. Individuals were wrongfully arrested for accessing parts of the beach that should have been open to the public. This bill reinforces the public trust doctrine, ensuring that our beaches remain free and open for all.

What You Can Do: Share the petition and come to the State House Annex in Trenton on February 13th, at the Assembly Tourism, Gaming, and the Arts Committee meeting to show our support. Your presence can make a significant impact. February 13th at 1:00 PM, Committee Room 12, 4th floor, State House Annex.

Let's stand together to ensure that our beaches are free for all, promoting a more inclusive and welcoming environment. Share this with your friends and family, and let's make our voices heard!
