Belmar Beach Parking
Belmar requires beach badges AND parking permits. Daily parking passes available at beach entrances.
Paid parking season: May 1 – Oct 1
Paid parking in Belmar does not end with beach badge season. Badges stop being required after Labor Day (Monday, September 7, 2026), but the meters keep running to the end of the window above. Budget for parking on a September or October visit even when the beach itself is free.
The earliest genuine drop-off on the Shore, but still nearly a month after Labor Day. Zone 6 and the marina are enforced year-round.
