You cannot pretend to sleep on a boardwalk bench.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

In this popular beach town, not only is it illegal to actually sleep on a boardwalk bench, but merely pretending to sleep will also land you in hot water. This overly specific ordinance was likely passed to prevent vagrancy and ensure that officers wouldn't have to debate whether someone was actually unconscious or just resting their eyes. Keep those peepers open if you sit down to relax!
