You can go on any NJ beach at night. It's called the Public Trust Act.

So how does Point Pleasant get away with locking their beach up at night?! This always confuses me. They lock all access to the beach (from what I can see, maybe there’s a secret entrance) and there’s signs that says “beach closed 6pm”

I don't know why. Residents in Loch Arbour won a court case against a person reststricting access. Actually the Public Trust Doctrine gives everyone access to the sand below the mean high tide line. During summer the municipalities have the rights to charge for access. We all have access to mist beaches. take a drive up Ocean Ave from Spring Lake to Asbury Park. All those beaches are never closed.

Those are the ones I typically go to that’s why it always puzzles me how Point gets away with completely closing after dark.
