A municipality may by ordinance regulate, restrict and prohibit the use of dune or beach buggies, jeeps, motorcycles, cars, trucks, or any other form of power‑driven vehicle specified by the governing body of the municipality on the foreshore, beach strand and the barrier dune system.  Violation of any ordinance adopted by the governing body of a municipality pursuant to this section is a Class 3 misdemeanor.
