Reply to Can someone explain the justification for having "private" beaches? It seems like access to natural attractions should be free. by SnooBooks4898
Are you upset with beach badges? Why shouldn’t people pay their way for things they use? If you’re using the beach and expect it to be clean and safe, who says you should get it for free, especially if you’re not from the town in which the beach exists?

The swimming areas are roped off and small.

As a guy that isn't very handy, I love Ace hardware. The employees will actively ask you if you need help and are very helpful and knowledgeable. I've had someone walk downstairs with me to help me find a very particular screw and give me advice on the project. As opposed to Home Depot where you have to run around for 10 minutes to find an employee only for them to give you wrong or very vague information about where something is and then you have to go look for it only to find it's not in that aisle.

But the true cost is living in Florida.

Found this place to be just mediocre. Not sure if we got them on an off night but definitely didn’t live up to the hype for the price.

I do…I don’t want you to have to, but I want a self serve lane. I’m tired of the waiting for the 1 unfriendly attendant working 14 pumps.

Honestly, imagine how mf crowded the beaches and traffic would be if they were free. Look how crowded they are with badges.

Because people trash every outdoor area when left to their own devices. Keeping beaches clean and not insanely overcrowded requires gatekeeping, and that costs money.

First, not my idea- I made that clear
second, can you be a little coherent about your perceived failure points rather than just rejecting?
You can set the price to whatever you wish....

There’s a decent argument I’ve heard.
People don’t drive to Florida beaches from out of state and then go home the same day, maybe spending a few bucks on parking and food like they do here. People there spend hundreds on hotels and do a whole vacation there. If NJ didn’t charge for beaches you’d have people from PA and NY who would use the beaches here and basically contribute nothing in revenue.

When I was a kid a trip to Rickles and Channel Lumber was a monthly tradition with dad.
