Pre-season beach tags may be purchased weekends beginning April 3 at the Beach Tag Booth at Community Hall. Other beach tags may be purchased daily May 1 through September 6 at the booth on or beginning June 1 from beach tag inspectors on the beach. Beach tag fees are: pre-season (purchase on or before May 31) $20.00; season tag (effective June 1) $25.00; weekly (Saturday through Saturday) $12.00 and daily $6.00. Reciprocity of beach tags is observed between Avalon and Stone Harbor.

Please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope, along with a check, to: Avalon Tax Office/Beach Tags, 3100 Dune Drive, Avalon, NJ 08202. Make check payable to: Borough of Avalon.
