Are beach tags transferable?
Depending on the municipality, yes. Please see our FAQ Section on transferability for more information.
Can rental owners share beach tags/badges with their tenants?
Yes, but only if the municipality permits sharing within the app. For example, if a rental owner buys six seasonal beach tags/badges, he or she will be able to transfer those seasonal tags/badges in one week increments to their tenants for reach rental period. The tenants will receive beach tags/badges valid for one week, and will be able to share those beach tags/badges one additional time within that week. This is helpful for situations where two or more families are renting together for a week. The rental owner can share the six weekly beach tags/badges with one of the tenants, and then that tenants can share them amongst themselves. Once the beach tags/badges are shared by the tenant to the other tenants, no other sharing is possible. (NOTE: This feature is only available where authorized by the municipality. Please check with your municipality before purchasing).
Can I purchase a physical pass in the app?
Yes, some municipalities offer physical beach tags or badges that can be purchased in the app. Physical passes must be picked up at a specified location. Check the app for more details.
Can a beach a tag/badge be shared more than once?
A beach tag/badge can only be valid for a single user at any given time. If a seasonal or weekly beach tag/badge is shared, the person receiving the beach tag/badge will also be able to share it one additional time, but no other sharing is permitted. Daily beach tags/badges can be shared but have to be shared for the entire day. Daily beach tags/badges can only be shared once and only by the original purchaser. (NOTE: This feature is only available where authorized by the municipality. Please check with your municipality before purchasing).
