Seaside Park Outlines It's Beach Access Plans for the Summer

Just like Seaside Heights announced this week the process for their beaches reopening in a two-phase process, Seaside Park has done the same today.

Seaside Park's first phase runs all the way through June 28th, whereas Seaside Height's first phase runs only through the start of Memorial Day Weekend next week.

Seaside Park officials reached out today asking us if we can post their plans on our website, and of course, we said yes.

As you will see in their press release, you will find everything you need to know regarding the purchasing of beach badges, swimming, parking, and bathroom access.

Most importantly, you must maintain Social Distancing at all times.

And finally, Look for The Hawk once again broadcasting from our Seaside Park Studios this Summer!!
