New Open Time Sounds a Little Complicated and Making a Free Day Difficult if not Prohibited.

Sandy Hook, N.J.: Beach parking is $20 per day or $100 per season for most vehicles. 2025 season beach parking passes will be available April 15, 2025 at Recreation.gov. For oversized vehicles (more than 20 feet), charge is $50 per day or $200 per season. Hours of collection are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. All toll booths are cashless and accept credit, debit and contactless payment only. Visitors arriving prior to 8 a.m. can park in a designated fee lot free until 8 a.m. Once the fee is effective at 8 a.m., visitors staying in the park would need to pay the required fee or park in a non-free area.

So I am used to getting there very early getting the pass and parking in "G". What does the new rule mean ? No indication on the site where the "free" area is ?
