Hot or cold, rain or shine, a waterman's work is never done.
Here,
a clammer digs for clams on a tidal flat at low tide, behind the island.
SUMMER'S COMING, SO IS THE FUN!
One of the things we all look forward to is the Thursdays at Surfside
summer music lineup at Surfside Park. The 2026 schedule has been
announced, and includes favorites such as Yellow Brick Joel, Best of the
Eagles, Don Jovi, 80's Revolution, and AM Gold. Enjoying your
favorite music next to the ocean on a summer evening...that sounds
perfect!
ROGER STANFORD,
Stone Harbor's long-time fire official, has retired after serving more
than 16 years at that post. Stanford had previously served 26
years in the Stone Harbor Police Department. Roger will continue
to serve as the fire chief at the Stone Harbor Fire Department, a
position he's held for 36 years.
GULLY'S: COMING SOON! 27th & Dune Drive will soon see a new
restaurant open up: Gully's! The neighborhood restaurant & bar
will serve high quality American cuisine with casual vibe and nostalgic
feel. Gully's will occupy the building at 2688 Dune Drive,
formerly used by Black Cactus, which closed last fall. Keep an eye
out for Gully's opening and give 'em a try!
THE WETLAND'S INSTITUTE'S Dr. Lenore
Tedesco spoke at the 2026 New Jersey Coastal and Climate Resilience
Conference earlier this month, discussing "Nature-based Solutions to
Build Resilience that Benefits People and Wildlife." After
speaking at the conference Dr. Tedesco brought more than 50 attendees
down the coast to share firsthand technical details of the planned Salt
Marsh Trail Revitalization Project, and to view the success of the
Scotch Bonnet Island restoration project that restored five acres of
tidal marsh using nature-based solutions. Why not plan a visit to
The Wetlands Institute the next time you're in town? It's a great
place to learn about the very ecosystem we all enjoy so much! For

EASY & QUICK THINGS can help
make summer more enjoyable, both for you, and for your summer tenants.
Just a bit of planning and preparation now helps avoid problems later.
Don't wait! Here are some ideas:
-Schedule an HVAC tune up with your preferred
provider.
-Select a wall or room in need of freshening and have it
painted.
-Place fresh ant traps around your home to ward off
inevitable summertime ant intrusions. (Under appliances, in garage
corners, and in the back of closets are great spots to keep the traps
out of sight.)
-Talk to your landscaper about spring plantings, weed
treatments, and lawn mowing.
-Schedule a deep cleaning of the whole
house, followed by a carpet cleaning.

property, or need contractor recommendations? Call or email me!
