7 Popular N.J. Beaches Declared 'Safe' Ahead of Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend is here, meaning it's time for folks in New Jersey--and New York--to flock to the Jersey Shore.

The beaches in Monmouth, Ocean and Cape May Counties are going to be packed for the next three months. Before patrons can enter the water though, they should be aware of whether or not it has been declared safe by environmental officials.

New Jersey conducts weekly bacteria testing of the ocean on Mondays, with results becoming available on Tuesdays, according to the Asbury Park Press.
