Beaches across the Jersey Shore are reopening this weekend with new regulations in place to keep visitors safe.
Seaside Heights is not allowing any swimming or coolers on the beach.
Rides are also shut down on the boardwalk and people can't shop inside stores. Some shops set up tables outside as a way to attract business.
In Sea Bright, swimming is allowed and there is access to public restrooms. Only three people are allowed in the restrooms at a time.
Face coverings also need to be worn.
Point Pleasant Beach will remain closed this weekend. The borough says it doesn't have enough law enforcement to handle the usual crowds that come to the boardwalk.
Jenkinson's, which owns much of the beachfront, says it can't open the beach until town officials make adjustments.
