Samples of Ocean City beach tags from prior years. This year's design features the historic U.S. Life Saving Service.
Beach tags for the summer 2015 season are on sale now online and at four locations in Ocean City. A $5 discount on seasonal tags is good through May 31.
The 2015 beach tag design honors the historic U.S. Life Saving Services, precursor of the modern U.S. Coast Guard.
The online store for beach tags can be accessed 24 hours a day at store.ocnj.us. Mail order forms are also available online and should be mailed before Dec. 18 to guarantee Christmas delivery.
The 2015 preseason beach tags are available for $20 and are required for beachgoers ages 12 and up. On June 1, 2015, seasonal beach tags prices increase to $25.
