The beach down in Brig is so much different from Ortley Ave. Very flat and the waves suck. Took me many years to adjust when we left.If you want big go to Wildwood from the boardwalk to the water seems like 3/4 of mile. I don't get the attraction of the beach in Wildwood. The town is great.
Mayor not happy (as if it was a political gathering, the rules are different, or does that depend on the political cause?):People having some fun times in Point Pleasant Beach tonight. Just saw this on Snapchat
Some of the comments on that Instagram post are disgusting. What is wrong with some people?
Looking forward to my first trip of the season to Lavallette tomorrow.
Considering Spring Lake was more than 75% Irish Catholic when I was growing up there back in the 70's, you and your non-Catholic friends were definitely in the minority if you were a protestant.We Presbyterians and Methodists kids were afraid to ride our bikes near St Cath, we had heard all about the Nuns with the rulers !
Fun was to be stopped by tourists, before they were Bennies, asking for directions and send them the wrong way. We didn't have to go to confessions....

And yes, I was on the receiving end of Sister Rose and Sister Dorothy Ann's famous ruler punishments at St. Catherine's.
Good town to chill
There is very little difference lately between Point (Jenkinsons, Point Pleasant doesn't run the beaches) and Seaside Heights beach crowds. They have pretty much the same crowds. The North end beaches in SSH are a hidden gem in Ocean County/ border Vision Beach and Ortley, and much nicer then any beach in Point.. just not much parking and some people are just turned away because its Seaside Heights. Always a lot of room and quiet. The South end beaches between Casino Pier (same owner as Jenkinsons) and Seaside Park is where all the city folks go and it can turn into a circus most days. There are days especially later in the summer were Seaside Heights is a beautiful place to visit but weekends are pretty rough. One thing about Seaside Heights they have the cleanest beaches out there. No town does a better job of raking and cleaning the beach 2x a day.

Or have plans. I go every year to Wildwood Crest. My concern is my elderly mother who always goes with us. I know I can leave her home and we wouldn't do anything until later in the season but this is tough.
Are you guys skipping shore trips this year because of the virus? Anyway thanks the information and best wishes.
So you swam to school? Now that's unique.
Thompson Academy on Thompson's Island, boarding school for boys high school age. Kids from Boston locale, abused, alcohol/druggie parents. Mom was a housemother and Dad teacher/coach.
Beached whale today in Spring Lake. Very large. Lifeguards apparently tried to save it. But they were unable.
Sad to see.
I wonder if it is the same whale seen last week off of Manasquan and Ocean Grove.

Most whales beach as they are sick.I'm thinking it's a pod going up and down the northern beaches looking for schools of small fish. Perhaps this whale chased them too close to shore and became stranded.
I'm told there actually were two very close to shore in Manasquan the day you're referring to.

Shore or anywhere in NJ, went to eat or drink outside today at establishment and where?
I'm due to get rip-roaring drunk at a bar
I'm thinking of finding a place tomorrow
I don't know if you can sit at the bar. I believe most are setting up outdoors.
I'll try to find a place with an outdoor bar, if not, I'll just have the server bring drinks to the table
Supposed to be a decent day. Bring sunscreen lol.
FAKE News; I never left the back yard pool here West of West Point.
I'll give it until September when this site becomes Premium Only.Without the CE Board, this board is strictly Deadsville.
IMO, the water is nice and calm because its flatter compared to Seaside or the others up north. Plus that LONNNNG walk to the water makes it seem like you're on the sand away from the streets and those tram cars lol. Some days you just want to get away for a bit lol.If you want big go to Wildwood from the boardwalk to the water seems like 3/4 of mile. I don't get the attraction of the beach in Wildwood.

You can go to any of the South Jersey beaches from Sea Isle on down for shallow, calm water. The flip side it sucks for surfing and surf fishing down there.IMO, the water is nice and calm because its flatter compared to Seaside or the others up north.

I said Sea Isle and South.OC has some of the best surfing in NJ. There is a reason that a town this small has 6 surf shops with another opening up soon
