Sales of seasonal beach tags for summer 2016 started last week.
Beach tags for the summer 2016 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 2016 beach tag features Ocean City mascot Martin Z. Mollusk waving from an Ocean City Beach Patrol rescue boat.
The online store for beach tags can be accessed 24 hours a day at
store.ocnj.us. Mail order forms are also available online.
