Cape May will try out digital beach tags for this summer season. The plan, reports the Cape May County Herald, is to pick one category of tag, perhaps the three-day tag, and have a trial period to ensure that the service to beachgoers can be delivered while protecting the tag revenue from harm due to illegal sharing of a tag. The sale of beach tags is a major revenue generator for the city and provides the bulk of the funding for its self-financing beach utility. In the budget adopted for 2023, the city anticipated $2.7 million in beach tag revenue. If 2022 is any indicator, the city budgets conservatively. In 2022 the city realized over $3 million in beach tag revenue.
