“Social distancing ambassadors” will be prowling popular New Jersey boardwalks this summer to make sure beachgoers don’t get too close.

The teams will be dispatched donning special vests to Wildwood, Ocean City and other summer hangouts through Cape May County’s new coronavirus campaign, “Six Feet Saves Lives.”

“As public places begin to reopen it is important to continue to take proper precautions, such as wearing a mask, washing hands frequently, and social distancing,” said Kevin Thomas, Cape May County Health Officer, in a statement.

The ambassadors will start hitting the shores May 15 and will include volunteers and staff from the Cape May County Department of Health, who will also be handing out literature on how to stop the spread of COVID-19.

As spring temperatures climb, states have grappled with how to police crowded public spaces like parks and beaches.

In New Jersey, local governments have policed their beaches differently. Though Gov. Phil Murphy on Friday said he fully expects all Jersey beaches to be reopened by Memorial Day, May 27.

Murphy said at least some coronavirus regulations will be needed for the shore but has yet to detail those rules.

“I will be shocked if our beaches are not open, but with very specific guidance, just as we opened county and state parks,” Murphy said during an interview with NJTV. “You should expect we’ll give guidance on beaches before Memorial Day.”
