New Jersey residents can reclaim some things that belong to them now that the 2024 summer tourist season has ended.

The Beaches.  Tourism is always good for local business, but it’s nice to get to the beach and have it feel like, well, our beach.

The Boardwalks. Maybe you want to take the kids on the rides, or you want a sausage and pepper sandwich. Starting now, the lines got a lot shorter.

Your Table At Your Favorite Restaurant. We go there all year, but in the summer you can’t get near it. But now, your favorite table at your favorite restaurant is available.

Thank you to all the tourists who made Summer 2024 a success for local businesses. Now it’s our turn.
