If you plan on heading to the New Jersey shore don't even think about "Beach Spreading." "Beach Spreaders" are "those" people who hog a huge section of the beach by putting up house-sized tents and dozens of beach chairs.
Beach Spreading has become such a big problem that rules limiting the amount of space you can take up on public beaches is coming up for review.
In beach towns like Belmar, New Jersey tent sizes have been limited to 3' X 3'.
The smaller tents ensure that everyone, including lifeguards, has a clear view of the water.
The new rules will be voted on at a public hearing on August 15.
The beach spreading rules will not impact off season beach goers.
