SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ — If you're headed to the beach in Seaside Heights this weekend and are dreading having to wait in line for your wristband to go on the beach, you're in luck.
Seaside Heights is one of a handful of New Jersey towns where you can buy your badge via an app.
The app, named Viply, allows users to buy both daily and season badges. There are versions for both iPhone and Android systems.
