The best perk of this NJ beach town will shock you

One of New Jersey's many perks is the access we have to the beach. I never take it for granted; there's something so pleasant about being able to go to the beach.

But there's one thing that every beach town should have that a ton don't.

Once you experience it for the first time, you'll realize how much of a lifesaver it truly is.

I'm talking about having clean public bathrooms, and Belmar has exactly that. It's the town that I frequent the most when heading to the Jersey Shore because of its proximity to where I live.

The added benefit of clean public bathrooms makes it stand out even more. Sure, some beaches may have bathrooms on the boardwalk, or a little shack with a toilet before the beach entrance, but Belmar does it better than anyone.

They have someone constantly cleaning and tidying up the bathroom. You don't have to worry about going into a bathroom that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a decade. The place will be spotless, and there's nothing more ideal than that.

We already pay a bunch of money in beach badges (for Belmar, it's $12 per person), so to see the upkeep and cleanliness is a nice touch.

I understand not all beach towns have a boardwalk, like Belmar does, so bathrooms aren't as easy to make available. But if you're looking for a beach town that combines the beauty of our beaches with the added bonus of having somewhere clean to go to the bathroom, Belmar is your place.
