Ocean Grove, NJ, may end its Sunday beach closure policy due to a court case.

Ocean Grove, N.J., a beach town founded as a religious retreat, may end its longstanding policy of keeping the beach closed on Sunday mornings. The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, the town's landowner, has deleted the Sunday morning closure rule from its website. This development comes amid a court case brought by the state of New Jersey, which could cost the group $25,000 daily fines for violating state beach access laws.
