Summer remains in full swing, but Brick Township officials are already beginning to prepare for the fall striped bass run.
The township is now accepting applications for beach vehicle permits for the 2024-2025 fishing season. The permits will allow beach access to vehicles from Oct. 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. There is a limit of 125 permits available for the season.
Beach vehicle permit applications are available online and in the township clerk’s office, located at 401 Chambers Bridge Road. The permit application fee is $35; there is no charge for veterans with a military ID. Beach access can be found on Brick Beach I, the township’s northernmost public beach.
