Badges will be on sale at the recreation department on Route 9 South in Bayville through June 17.

Regular passes are $30. That price will rise to $35 after June 17.

Admission for children under 12 is free. New Jersey residents who are 62 and over receive free badges after proof of age and residency are furnished.

White Sands Beach, Berkeley's oceanfront beach, is right near the entrance to Island Beach State Park. It runs from 20th Avenue to 23rd Avenue.
