A Jersey Shore beach town banned all unaccompanied minors from night activities in a citywide crackdown to stop dangerous gatherings that have led to brawls and underage drinking. The Cape May City Council unanimously voted to implement curfews in the city, which block anyone under 18 without an adult from beach access starting at 8 p.m. and from any other public space in the city after 10:30 p.m., according to the newly passed ordinances.
The new orders set up two curfews for the adultless youngsters to thwart any rowdiness or out-of-control partying in the beach resort town. Cape May Mayor Zachary Mullock said the ordinances are to stop troublemakers from other parts of the Jersey Shore making their way to the popular vacation hotspot after hours.
“We really wanted to make sure we didn’t become the afterparty to some of the other towns that have already made this move,” Mullock said. After 10:30, we all know it’s not normally the best stuff that happens then, so to me, honest as a parent myself, I think there’s a good thing,” he added.
