Current Status of Rentals, Beaches, Pavilion Circle, and Beach Tags

The Borough is carefully balancing the health and safety of its residents and property owners with the need to incrementally reopen public spaces as we prepare for the summer season. Because of continuous uncertainties, policies are frequently changing. Following is the current status of operations related to rentals, beaches, Pavilion Circle and beach tags. Please stay in touch with the Borough Website for updates as they occur.
