(Photo: Daniel Nee)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A stellar July helped propel Seaside Heights to its best year for beach badge revenue since Superstorm Sandy struck in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>July badge revenue totaled $726,043, the best of the summer season, and $148,911 more than the same month in 2015. Seaside Heights generated more revenue in 2016 compared with 2015 in May, June and July. August revenue was down a modest $26,113 and September receipts were non-existent due to Hurricane Hermine closing beaches to swimming. Last year, the borough generated $99,740 in September, a profit that was wiped away this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done more every year since Sandy,\u201d said Mayor Anthony Vaz. Still, \u201cIt hit us hard this year that we lost a whole weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In all, despite the storm-affected finish, Seaside Heights topped 2015 to the tune of $175,282, generating a total of $1,696,231. In 2015, beach badge revenue was $1,520,949.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/2016\/09\/seaside-heights-sees-beach-revenue-rise-in-2016\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A stellar July helped propel Seaside Heights to its best year for beach badge revenue since Superstorm Sandy struck in 2012&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2208,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[18,6,5],"tags":[30,667,20,337],"class_list":["post-2879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-seaside-government","category-seaside-heights","tag-beach-badges","tag-beach-revenue","tag-seaside-heights-nj-news","tag-summer-2016"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/seaside_heights_beach.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgsn9q-Kr","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
