Neptune Municipality, N.J.
A spiritual not-for-profit has actually owned Ocean Grove, a stretch of beach and surrounding residential or commercial property, for more than 150 years. Throughout that time, it’s been the Methodist neighborhood’s policy to close the beach on Sunday. In the 1980s the group unwinded that policy, opening Ocean Grove’s beaches at midday on Sundays in between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It’s the only spot of the approximately 130-mile Jersey Coast that’s off limitations to bathers on summer season Sunday early mornings. Now state authorities are seeking to remove the neighborhood of its spiritual custom and require the beaches open.
