Empty Beach

ann — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:04:10 +0000

Labor Day at sunset…very quiet on the beach!

Other than random storms, September is known as the best month at the shore. Make sure you schedule a beach day soon.

P.S. It’s bulk trash week in Avalon- last day to put unwanted items on the curb is Monday morning, September 13th. Bulk trash in Stone Harbor is September 20th.

Surf with the Nuns

" src="http://anndelaney.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/VillaMaria-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />The Villa Maria by the Sea retreat house is a wonderful landmark in Stone Harbor, NJ. The Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) occupy the house all summer, and generously share their beach with the community.

The annual surfing contest is a major fund raiser to help maintain the structure and grounds.

Join the surfers- young and not so young- next Saturday on the 111th Street beach for this fun event. The Sisters will be on hand to sell you a sweatshirt or t-shirt, too!

High Tide

ann — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:53:16 +0000

The main event with Earl was the wild Atlantic Ocean. This picture was taken at high tide in Stone Harbor.

I posted another video showing the ocean/beach at high tide: http://www.youtube.com/user/AnnDelaneyBeach

The life guards reported for duty today- to keep swimmers OUT of the ocean. Because of the tide, most were forced to move their stands to the beach paths… or, in this case, to the private sitting area for Villa Maria by the Sea retreat house- while guarding “Nun’s Beach”.

It’s now almost 5pm, and the sun is out. Ready for a great Labor Day weekend

Video of Ocean/Beach

ann — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:17:09 +0000

Mainly overcast and some light rain so far this morning. The ocean is very rough, and the local police have closed the beaches for swimming (common sense). Posted a video from my morning beach walk to You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/user/AnnDelaneyBeach

Will post weather updates here and on Twitter.

Friday 2:30pm Off and on rain showers and gusts of wind. High tide at 3:30pm- no flooding expected, but with the rough ocean, there may be some beach erosion. Traffic coming on to the island for the Labor Day Weekend.
