This Beach badge is a tax to support the beach ops. Guy was arrested for not paying his tax.
Why Beach tags?
Beach tags are required in most municipalities along the New Jersey coastline. They are a user fee to help offset the local municipalities cost of maintaining their beaches and providing lifeguards and other services such as trash removal, beach cleaning and the purchase of needed equipment and police protection.
The cost of these items and all of the other beach benefits are supported by this user fee known as the beach tag. The beach fee program was approved by the residents of Ocean City in 1976 and continued since that time to help offset all of the costs associated with the beach.

Surfers aren't littering and destroying the beaches.
Tourists are.
Maybe tax the ones using the beach, not the guys way out in the water away from society.
