Join the friendly Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Saturday, September 14th for the annual surf contest. Â 111th Street and the beach, 8am.
There will be tents by the beach selling coffee and donuts… and of course the popular “Nuns’ Beach” wear. Â The generous support from the community helps to maintain this beautiful Stone Harbor landmark.
P.S. Found this wonderful article on line: An Entire Beach of Nuns posted in July.  Funny!
The first picture was sent to me by a reader last year: Villa Maria by the Sea, 1955. Â Still looking great in 2013!
September Weather
An ocean breeze during this “heat wave”- keeping us comfortable at the beach!
I attended a low key ceremony yesterday in Stone Harbor – at the future 9/11 memorial site on 123rd Street. Â Like the memorial in Avalon, a piece of steel from the World Trade Center will be incorporated in a meaningful way.
