If you got summer on your mind, so does the township. The 2018 beach and pool badge information was released today, and Toms River now has them available for sale. There\u2019s no change in pricing over last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the details: Starting today, April 2, grab a full-season beach badge for $35. That\u2019s the pre-season price for a beach badge to use the township\u2019s beaches at Ortley Beach, northern beaches and Shelter Cove.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get your passes before the beaches open and are guarded, starting Saturday May 26, which is Memorial Day Weekend. From Memorial Day Weekend through June 22, the beaches will only be guarded on the weekends.<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 23, the beach is open daily through Labor Day, when it reverts to weekends only for a couple weeks thereafter. Beach hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides a season badge, you can also buy a weekly badge for $20, and a week is defined by Saturday to Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daily beach badges are $7, unless it is a weekend or a holiday and then it is $8.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no cost for beach badges if the child is 12 years old or younger.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senior residents can sign up for a \u201clifetime access card,\u201d which will grant you access to the beaches, for a one-time processing fee of $15.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beachgoers should note that the Army Corps of Engineers\u2019 beach replenishment project is again expected to close a portion of the barrier island beaches at a time, as crews dredge to build dunes there. The tentative schedule is for that work to begin sometime in May for the Ortley Beach section<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the popular municipal pool, located at the Toms River recreation department at 1810 Warren Point Road.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pool is scheduled to open for the weekend, June 16 and 17. Come Friday, June 22, the pool will be opened daily. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekends and holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n

The costs for a season pool badge are:<\/span><\/p>\n
