Who was at Sandy Hook "D" beach with huge "R" tent yesterday?

Before the Polio vaccines became available,the Polio season always started in the Summer. Not a coincidence,IMO, ocean bathing and Polio.
 
I strike up conversations with people who happen to have an R hat on. And you wouldn't/couldn't ask them yourself?
Nope, I don't like bothering people on vacation,and they were in the middle of setting up. We were on our way further down the beach lugging a lot of stuff, and wanted to keep going.
 
I was just thinking who goes to Sandy Hook anyway? You have to be crazy. Anyone swimming north of LBI is crazy.
That's a pretty pompous statement. Sure, Sandy Hook isn't the cleanest beach by any stretch, but ok if you just want to get a tan, and don't have the time to fight the traffic. There are plenty of beaches between the Hook and LBI that are great beaches to swim at,that you just threw under the bus,lol. We spend plenty of day trips at Belmar or Pt. Pleasant, and love the water there. When not going on day trips, our family goes to Wildwood or Ocean City,MD. I'd venture to say, many on here can't afford the week long or month long stay at LBI unless it's Daddy's house.
 
The closest I've been to Sandy Hook since Oceanography class is within smelling distance of "The King", but right now I can't drve tro the beach because I have no money ( and would lose my car f I needed a repair). Just think it was the way it was written but 'm sure you meantv not to associate Belmar and PP with traffic? (at least heading down on a summer weekend day).
 
Truth hurts. Did you see Abro's post. You think the bacteria levels are only high at Sandy Hook. To each his own.

Sure does. Only beach flagged by NJ DEP was South of LBI for high levels.

Sea Bright's levels are lower than all of LBI. Fecal coliform levels may be higher where you swim. [laughing] Let me know which beach you prefer so I can avoid it.

Keep believing Sea Bright has low levels. To be honest, I haven't been to a beach in NJ in over 15 years. I don't like risking my health.

You were just crowing about levels being lower LBI and South and you were called out on it. Facts are hard to refute. NJDEP is covering up? Maybe Christie is covering for his former Democratic Mayor Dina Long? [roll]

Isn't tourism on the shore a big business? Yeah. I believe their stats. Keep swimming in Sea Bright.

Sea Bright beaches are 90% beach clubs and members pay a lot of money for beach club memberships. Some of the clubs are very exclusive. You would not be able to swim on most of hte beaches in Sea Bright. I'll take the anonymous opinion of an uninformed person who doesn't go to NJ beaches over the NJDEP measurements. Got it.

Hmmm.. . . only beaches listed are on LBI.

Two Ocean County beaches are under an advisory today because of unsafe levels of bacteria in the water, according to data released minutes ago.

Every week, the state Department of Environmental Protection tests nearly every public beach

Here are the beaches that are open, but under a water quality advisory:

  • Barnegat Light, 25th Street beach, 700 cfu
  • Long Beach Township, Stockton beach, 150 cfu

LOL. Minus a rare water quality advisory that would affect most of the combined NYC metro and Jersey shores, its waters have been fine to swim in. Have been doing so for 20 years, and my health is great. I even swam in Brighton Beach (Brooklyn) as a kid, which is relatively speaking dirtier. The only beaches I've visited and enjoy more than Jersey's are those of several choice Caribbean islands, as well as Israel's Mediterranean & Red Sea shores.

Do you just prefer not going to beaches in general (which is okay), or spend your days locked inside with the shades drawn to conserve your health?

Somehow I think the millionaires from Rumson that belong to Chapel Beach Club in Sea Bright, would have an informed expert taking water samples for them.
 
The few times I have given an "R" cheer when I see someone sporting RU gear or a flag they look at me like i'm retarded, sorry, special needs.

try yelling "Go RU!" instead. that usually gets a good response.
 
Hey Newell 138, I get the same response when I scream "R" at someone sporting RU gear, people avoid eye contact and stare at the ground like I'm the schizo on the subway, mothers scurry their children away, weird right? Except for this one dude in Sea Bright, who screams back "U" !

Not-for-nothing but you just got shot down with facts and this is what you come back with? LOL, com'on man, how can you make claims as such then tell us all you haven't even been to a NJ beach in 15-years?

That post was from the beginning of July and you quote me now? Don't you have a life? I just got back from 8 days in Punta Cana. I'll be nice and just say I'll take that beach every day.

Millionaires are not necessarily that smart, especially the old money ones. All the money in the world can't buy brains or common sense. Never understood paying upwards of $30K per year for a cabana and to sit on a beach with a direct view of NYC.

And just as convenient as the Jersey shore! Ass...

It's not so much the direct view of NYC, it has more to do with the fact that they pay 30K for such a shitty beach. The sand is terrible which gives the appearance of being dirty.

Not as bad as Belmar's South end, which has the orange hue of a dirt quarry post Sandy. Actually, the best beaches in Sea Bright are on the North end, but there is no parking and there are no lifeguards. Nice sandbar at low tide, which limits the risk of no lifeguards.

I'm spoiled, we drive on at Island Beach State Park. The beaches and sand are awesome. If you take a walk in the dunes or trek along the bayside you would think you're somewhere other than Jersey. I would put IBSP up against any other beach in the country.

No debating it, IBS is a treasure. Lucky you.
