Numerous beaches in NJ have been tested and were flagged as unsafe.

Swimming in some of the beaches could even lead to illness.

OMG! Gross.

Environment America Research & Policy Center had tested beach waters across America in 2018 including 365 in New Jersey and 133 of the New Jersey beaches had received results of unsafe levels of contamination on at least one day, says nj.com.

Yep, I would plan the rest of my trips to the shore this summer with caution.
