You're actually correct! NJ follows the Public Trust Doctrine (started by Justinian around 500AD). All beaches including the water and sand to the high water line is available and must be accessible by the public even on private land. check it out.

It's land just like any other land that can be owned. And a lot of things can be attractive. A cool climbing tree can be a natural attraction. Does that mean we should be able to go on anyone's property to climb their tree, or see some flowers on it, or go fly kites on their grass patch?
If you want to argue for abolishing private property completely, fair enough, but beach front property works just the same as any other property.

I went to the Rickels in Randolph & Wayne a few times while they were closing. They were giving stuff away. Whole house, belt driven attic fan for $22. Gable attic fan for $5. Big boxes of nails, bolts, screws for .50 cents each.

Having to pay for access keeps the riff raff out.

Funny enough this idea is actually Georgist and is American af 🇺🇸🦅 Henry George was actually born in Philly and died in NYC so all the more reasons to respect him, especially here in NJ 😎

Yes, right near Danforth Ave and Society Hill development. The building still exists but I do not know what it was called.

Same. My dad had my brother and I seal the stockade fence ever few years. That was way before they found out it's linked to cancer (just like everything else!).

Literally the only sensible comment in here so far. Apparently everyone just thinks the beaches magically maintain themselves.

I wouldn’t suggest hanging around Newark Penn after modnight. They close the station and kick everyone outside. And the area is sketchy as fuck

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

Very many people from Pennsylvania and New York enjoy NJ beaches. I believe mostly for that reason they decided not to pay for the upkeep with taxes. Also, Governor Murphy has been allowing free access to state parks during the summer months. There are some you can visit with plenty of oceanfront access.

Reply to Moving from NJ to California by bartowskii77
Check out www.ViceAutoTransport.com to ship it, works out cheaper than driving WRT hotel, food, fuel and time. Probably ballpark $1500-$1700 for a cross country move depending on what car you're sending.

Reply to Has anyone used Selective for home insurance? by Digi-Fu
I'm an insurance agent in NJ. I try to put EVERYONE I quote with selective if I can.
They have some of the best programs and discounts if being quoted properly.
Make sure you ask for the selective edge endorsement.
Pay their claims quickly and customer service when you call in is great. You shouldn't normally wait longer then 5 minutes.
