Veterans Free Beach Tags:

Free Veterans Beach Tags can be picked up at Borough Hall from the Front Desk receptionist Monday – Friday 8:30 am to 4:00 pm.  These tags will be available until Memorial Day weekend.  As of Memorial Day weekend these tags can be picked up at the Beach Tag Office from 10 am to 4 pm.  Veterans will be issued a specialized veterans tag, not the yearly generic beach tag.

Documentation required issuing free Veterans Beach Tag:  All veterans must appear in person and provide a copy of their DD 214 Form which indicated that they have been honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces or any of the following:

–Cape May County Vet­er­ans card, issued by the county

–Amer­i­can Legion card

–VFW card

–Viet­nam Vet­er­ans of Amer­ica card

–Dis­abled Vet­er­ans of Amer­ica card

–Marine Corps League card

.  In addition Veteran must show photo id for proof of identification and completion of Borough of Stone Harbor Beach Tag tracking form.

The proof of veteran’s status will be kept on file with the Borough.  If proof is on file veteran will only need to show Proof of identification in subsequent years in order to be issued the free beach Tag.

Each year a control sheet will be maintained by Beach Tag Supervisor.   Such control sheet must include Name of Veteran, Checkmark that DD 214 Form or other approved identification is on file, Tag Number issued and date issued.

Control Sheet will be held by Front Desk receptionist prior to Memorial Day weekend.  At that time all information will be forwarded to Beach Tag Supervisor.  At end of season, any unissued tags and Control Sheet will be turned into the Chief Financial Officer.  Chief Financial Officer will verify that the all tags issued are properly recorded on control sheet at end of season.

Beach Tag Supervisor will submit a monthly report to CFO indicating number of Free Veterans tags issued.

**Policy is subject to change once official rules and regulations are promulgated by the State of New Jersey.

***There is no change in policy for issuing free beach tags to Active Duty Military and families.  These tags will only be issued at Beach Tag office during normal business hours after Memorial Day weekend.
