Government officials are beginning to prepare us for the new normal. We will not be suddenly freed from our homes to resume our prior lives.
So what should we expect this summer at the shore?
My random thoughts:
Beach tag inspectors enforcing social distancing between family groups (will be challenging on the busier beaches).
Extra life guard stands so that guards can spread out.
Designer cloth masks to match bathing suits and beach cover ups (idea for the local surf shops!)
Restaurants with outdoor dining will be preferred- and should definitely incorporate air circulation for comfort, and to ward off those pesky gnats!
Families will be comfortable vacationing in properties where they can control the cleanliness. Homes with pools will become even more popular because the occupants can isolate and enjoy their time away.
We are fortunate that Avalon and Stone Harbor offer plenty of open spaces- allowing residents and visitors the opportunity to safely navigate a much needed break this summer.
Think positive 😎
Looking for Water
With the beach paths closed, I have to be creative to get my daily dose of “water views”.
Fortunately, we live on an island!
This morning, we walked toward the Townsends Inlet Bridge. This is the first time I’ve seen the seawall up close -usually I’m there for a photo op during a storm with the waves splashing over!
Our return route along Ocean Drive provided additional bay views, and some salt air breezes.
Grateful…
