Those hazy, hot, and humid summer days are on their way!
Summer is almost here! Hopefully there is plenty of beach time in your future!


MOTHER NATURE DIDN'T GET THE MEMO!  Last weekend was great, although Mother Nature didn't get the memo!  But even persistent rain, wind, and a bit of fog couldn't dampen the spirits of those who visited the shore, and those who commemorated our military members who made the ultimate sacrifice, by attending the parades and ceremonies in Avalon & Stone Harbor on Monday.  It may not have been ideal beach weather, but shops and restaurants enjoyed large crowds all weekend.  Westbound traffic on Monday afternoon served as proof that lots of people visited the island last weekend!
 
BEACH ACCESS GUIDE:  Need to know which beaches have ramp access, where to find an accessible rest room, or reserve a surf chair?  Cape May County publishes a handy guide for accessing the beach with disabilities.  Bookmark the link for reference:
