Wildwood's status as one of a handful of Jersey Shore destinations that don't require beach tags is in danger, but imposing a new user fee could be tricky. "Adding the cost of a seasonal tag may not have that big of an impact on most people's budgets," said Wesley Roehl of Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management. "But there could be a psychological impact overall, because you have something that goes from being entirely free to something that has a cost associated with it."
