Officials in New Jersey are banning the possession of alcohol on a popular beach and boardwalk after city commissioners unanimously passed the “stricter” ordinance. “Alcohol of any kind has always been prohibited on the beach and boardwalk. He told CNN the new ordinance was tweaked to include even the presence of alcohol on the beach and boardwalk in the town, some 40 miles south of Atlantic City. The ordinance mirrors those in other shore towns, officials say, and seeks to “crack down” on the matter of possession, according to the news release. It exempts designated restaurants or permitted events on the beach and boardwalk, according to the release.
