Also tonight, Seaside Heights is cracking down on after hours beach access following several days of a deadly rip current that took one life.

Mayor Anthony Vaas says the move is about protecting people after one man drowned and six others were rescued Monday night, hours after lifeguards were off duty.

Beaches typically close at 7pm, but now police will help clear out crowds, issue summonses, and make arrests if needed.

The borough will also closely monitor tides and storm conditions, closing earlier on dangerous days and even adding bilingual warning signs about swimming.

Monday's tragedy happened on a red flag day when swimmers were only allowed up to their knees in the water.

The death capped a weekend where crews along the shoreline made 12 rescues on unguarded beaches.
