Seaside Heights officials last week announced they would continue in-person, pre-season beach badge sales this year, and this week announced the dates and times when they can be purchased. The borough also showed off its special badge design for 2026, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding.
The borough is offering three badge designs, including a special design for its senior badges.
This year, pre-season badge sales will be held in-person only at the Beach Control office at the Boardwalk and Kearney Avenue. The office will be open Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on December 13th, December 20th, December 27th, and January 3rd.
