I was wondering where to find what the laws are for beaching a tender in NJ. Are there areas where you can bring a gas tender to the beach? If not, are the rules different for an electric motor? I'm assuming you can beach a non-powered tender anywhere in these areas. Does this all differ by municipality? I'm interested in knowing the rules for Bradley Beach, Spring Lake and Manasquan.

Can someone point me in the right direction to find information online, or will I have to contact each municipality individually?
 
Good luck!

Those towns have been working hard for years to restrict beach access of any sort to non township residents.
 
have you checked municode.com ? they have ordinances for many counties, towns and cities in a searchable format. not sure how well they cover NJ but florida is pretty well covered
 
I know Sandy Hook does not allow you to get onto the beach (Ocean Side) from a boat. You cannot even use an inflatable row boat to go from your boat to the beach.
 
MichaelNJ is right, but not only on the ocean side. I brought one of the kids to shore in an inflatable in Toms River. Kid was green as grass and needed to hit land, we were tied up just off a public park. Some 100 year old witch in full blown township fatigues started to have a coniption. At first I did'nt say anything...when she radio'd for back up, we split, but not after making the kid relieve his stomach in her parking lot.
 
Britanic....I'm very curious as to where in Toms River that was. Do you remember which public park you pulled up to?

I'd have waited for the backup....sometimes a little confrontation is good for your cholestorol.. :)
 
There is that one sand bar in Sandy Hook Bay that people beach at and anchor off of during low tide.
 
As I recall, that may have been Horseshoe Cove on the bay side. A popular place to anchor and swim.
 
Spermicetti Cove is the sand bar where everyone hangs out inside the hook.

Dom,

Don't know the name. It's about 3/4 of the way down starting from Barnegat Bay, on the left side. There is an interlocking masonary sea wall just to the left of this park (as your facing it from the water). There were a couple of covered picknick tables and small playground equipment...
 
Also, I am pretty cool mannered and expalained why I was bringing the kid to shore. You could see our boats anchored not more than 300 yards from the beach, the ride in the dink made him worse and anyone could tell he was sick. I was actually concerend for Her health, did'nt want to give a heart attack! Figured it was just best to go...
 
I think you're talking about the Park in Beachwood ....If it is, they don't even let Non-Residents park, or drive through, on land. BASTARDS!!!!.....If it were my daughter, they would have had to have handcuff me before I brought her back out feeling that sick. Sorry you had to go through that!!!
 
That is absolutely dumb. I can understand not beaching a boat but why cant you walk on public land from the water? Besides the beaches/parks not getting their $$ for park entrance it is just dumb.
