A sign telling visitors that beach tags are required in order to use Cape May, New Jersey's beaches.

Beach tags are a controversial system introduced by many New Jersey shore communities to restrict summer beach access to either residents or paying visitors. Visitors to communities with the beach tag system need to pay a fee for either a daily or seasonal pass, while residents receive them for free. It has been challenged in court and often upheld. It is seen as a way of keeping out poorer visitors to the beach towns.
