Back many moons ago, when I was still living in NJ, the beaches would be filled with needles and other medical waste.  Also garbage.  A friend of mine tells me they now rake the beach every day to clean up such things.  Starting from when I was a teenager, I could not swim in the ocean in NJ, because I would get swollen glands and feel like crap.  That would have been back in the 70s.  And you have to pay to get on the beach there.  This isn't the first year that they've had to close the beaches because of high volume of bacteria.  I feel sure that NYC is still floating garbage barges out onto the ocean and dumping them. 

Of course, once I discovered the relatively clean beaches of the Gulf, I don't feel compelled to go to the beach in NJ, except as a nostalgia tour.
