You got great answers from graciegirl and slipcovers, so I will just add this...

Once again - the taxes that are paid by local residents outside of the Villages DO NOT go toward supporting the MMPs within the Villages. Those who pay the assessment within each CDD DO pay for the MMP and are entitled to use them.

If the state of Florida and the owners of the NJ boardwalks determine to permit folks to use those facilities without charge - sobeit - you are free to use them. But you can bet that there will be rules and parameters for their use - nothing comes without an obligation. And the obligation atached to the use of MMPs in the Villages is the payment of an assessment for that usage.
