Harvey Cedars is one of many island towns slated to have some of its beachfront restored by the Army Corps of Engineers this summer.

Although an exact date has not been set yet for the project, Diane Dale, Municipal Clerk, said that at some point between early June and August, 1,000 feet of beachfront along Harvey Cedars will be closed for a replenishment project following Superstorm Sandy. 

Despite certain areas being closed, town officials are encouraging everyone to pick up an early seasonal beach badge for the warm weather that is just around the corner. 

Seasonal passes are $40, but if you get them before June 15 this year, you can get a seasonal for $30, according to the town's website. Senior citizens, ages 65 and older, may get a seasonal pass for $9. Weekly badges also are offered at a rate of $20. There is a day rate of $6.

Badges are currently on sale through June 22 at Borough Hall, which is located at 7606 Long Beach Blvd. Hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

After June 23, badges will be on sale at the beach badge checker booth at Sunset Park on West Salem Avenue. More information about beach badges can be obtained by calling Borough Hall at 609-361-6000, or the Sunset Park booth at 609-361-9733.

Lifeguards come on duty starting June 16, while badge checkers come on duty starting June 22. Lifeguards will be on duty from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Parking must be found along the public streets.
