Seaside Heights Mayor Tony Vaz is working to make the town a welcoming family destination after he says rowdy behavior by teens and young adults has given the area a bad reputation. Plans are in motion to redevelop the boulevard where three former nightclubs once stood into a thriving mixed-use development, complete with apartments, shops and restaurants.

The town is also implementing new guidelines to curb disorderly conduct, including raising the age to 21 for short-term rentals between April and June.

” … It’s not the Seaside of a half a dozen years ago. It’s a different community. We’re not going to tolerate at 2 o’clock in the morning beer parties. Those days are over,” said Vaz.
