They had those on nicer strips of the Schleswig-Holstein coasts. You could either choose to go to a public beach and put down your towel between rusty beer cans and used condoms, and the ferry lines passing two hundred meters from the shore. Not to mention the stink from the little grill that probably hasn't changed the oil in its deep frier since Helmut Schmidt was chancellor.

Or you could pay a few Marks and enjoy powder fine white sand and crystal clear water that almost makes you think you're in the Carribean.

The differences are not always that extreme, though.

Nope, the tag is levied per person, not car, and you need to carry/wear it when you're on the beach.  Totally lame.

Oh. That's really lame.

Yeah.  Taxes and such are high in New Jersey, but apparently not quite high enough so they had to come up with that. :)
