A new curfew is now in effect on the Seaside Heights boardwalk for those under the age of 18.
Children aged 17 and under are not allowed to be out on the boardwalk after 10 p.m. unless accompanied by a parent or if there is a sanctioned event taking place.
News 12 New Jersey spoke with Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz about the decision and why he felt it was best for the town.
