Problems with the community
Belmar, like other shore communities, has always struggled with how to protect its year round residents' interests while accomodating the tourists so important to the local economy.[14][15][16][17] The dilemma is that although tourists offer business opportunities for local residents and clubs offer local college students jobs and a place to drink with friends that doesn't involve venturing out onto highways, they can also create noise and incidents that upset local residents. Belmar tried to control the issue by reducing the closing time to midnight, which reduced D'Jais profits significantly,[14][18] but this restriction was later changed. There is currently a joint effort by the town and the remaining clubs to maintain order through education, socialization, training, and other initiatives.
