Cape May Point Beach Patrol

Since its founding in 1910, the Cape May Point Beach Patrol has experienced continual improvement in terms of services provided, preventative lifeguarding tactics, quality of personnel, and competitive efforts. We are the smallest beach patrol in the South Jersey Lifeguard Chief’s Association, yet our performance is equal to that of any patrol.

The Cape May Point Beach Tag Program has been in operation since 1972.  We provide a number of services on the beaches here at the Point. We sell daily, weekly, and seasonal beach tags to anyone 12 and over who wishes to gain access to our beaches from the 3rd Saturday in June through Labor Day while lifeguards are on duty.  In addition, we sell commercial tags to rental property owners who wish to provide them as an amenity to their renters. The tag program also offers free tags to veterans and active service members and their immediate families.  We also provide assistance and information to those who request it.

The Municipal Boundaries for Cape May Point Beaches are from the State Park (Lighthouse Avenue) up to and including the Alexander Avenue Jetty. Cape May Point Beach Tags are ONLY valid on our beaches and likewise, our tags are not accepted on other area beaches. Please see our Beach Tag Department page for details on this year's beach tags.
