A mailing was sent out today (2021) for those who want to obtain their beach “tags” now. If you order by mail, there will be a $7.00 mailing fee. The cost for 2016 will be the same as 2015. You have to sign and return the enclosed card which promises that you will “follow all of the beach rules and regulations.”
Is this unique, or do other towns require that you sign a pledge to follow the rules? Do you think these rules are stated clearly? I wonder how many of you have actually read the rules. If you haven’t, here are a few that are of particular interest.
Note that Ocean Grove CMA controls most of these rules, not the Neptuners, even though the beach, boards, and parks are considered “public thoroughfares”
Well, you get the idea. There are 45 such rules and regulations; you have to decide which ones you want to obey fully, which ones you will gracefully ignore, and which ones you will obey selectively.
Oh, and who gets to enforce all these rules, especially if they are 24/7? And how does the CMA insure equal justice under the law?
JOHNNY DEPP and HELENA BONHAM CARTER “By the Sea” from Sweeney Todd-the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics 1979)
“By the sea, Mr. Todd, that’s the life I covet
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you’d love it
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house what we’d almost own
“Down by the sea, anything you say
Wouldn’t that be smashing?
“With the sea at our gate, we’ll have kippered herring
What have swum to us straight from the Straits of Bering
Every night in the kip, when we’re through our kippers
I’ll be there slipping off your slippers”
