WHERE DO ALL THOSE BEACH TAGS COME FROM? Sure, they wind up pinned to your swim suit or beach bag—but did you ever wonder where shore towns get all those tags? A recent NJ.com article says they come from Jersey Cape Training and Opportunity Center, in Cape May Court House. The facility produces 15,000 to 20,000 tags per day—and more than three million per year—while providing employment opportunities in a vocational rehabilitation center.
