PLA Beach Badges

Request Badges 
F. A. Q.

BEACH BADGES

We are instituting electronic beach badges this summer! The eBadges were launched last year and help us to keep down printing costs and avoid problems with US Mail delivery. You can show them to the lifeguards on your phone or print them and bring them with you. You can forward them to your guests.

You can still use the physical cards you already have if you want, by requesting a 2026 sticker.

There is No fee for member and family beach badges. Guest badges are $3 each.

  • How do I get Beach badges?

    • If you would like beach badges, you can order them on our website, under the BADGE REQUEST FORM tab.

    • Owners who have paid all dues and assessments in full and are members in good standing of the PLA can request Beach Badges for each household member over the age of 16 and Family Badges for those 12 to 15.

    • In the past, every PLA member automatically received them, but not everyone wanted or used them. To save on overordering/printing you will need to request badges.

  • How much are they and how many can I get?

    • Membership Badges for household members are at no cost to you. Guest Badges (up to 6 per household) can be requested at a cost of $3.00 per badge.

  • Can I get family badges for my adult children who no longer live here? Or my sister who lives nearby?

    • They would get guest badges. Family badges are for those household members from 12 to 15 who reside in your household. Guests are expected to be accompanied by a member.

  • Do I have to accompany my children and/or my guests?

    • Children twelve and over should have a family badge. A child who is 10 or 11 can take the test for a special badge. This is given by the head lifeguard and will allow the child to come to the beach unaccompanied. Guests should always be accompanied by a member.

  • What if I didn’t request badges when I sent in my dues, can I still get them?

    • Yes. You need to fill out the Request Badges form. If ordering guest badges, please be sure to include the $3.00 fee per badge.

  • Who do I contact if I have a question about badges?

  • I’m having a party. How do I reserve the ball-field or request beach badges just for the day? Who do I contact?

    • For temporary badges or reserve the ball-field contact corsec.paulinskill@gmail.com. There is no charge for temporary badges, but they get returned at the end of the day.

  • Can I get badges from the lifeguards?

    • Sorry, no. Only temporary badges, if arrangements have been made in advance.

  • What if I lose my badge?

    • You should contact the Financial Secretary at finance.paulinskill@gmail.com to get a replacement. Until it arrives you can still go to the beach – just check in with the lifeguards on duty – they have a list that tells them who is paid up on dues.

Each household can request up to six (6) Guest Badges at a cost of $3.00. The Guest Badges can be re-used each year and a new sticker will be issued upon receipt of payment. Renewed Guest Badges will cost $3.00 per year. Guest Badges are required for all over the age of 12. Beach Badges should be shown to the Lifeguard when accessing our beaches and children and guests must be accompanied by a member.
