2018 Beach Tags
Reminder that seasonal beach tags are now on sale in Avalon and Stone Harbor NJ.
Tags are $23 each and allow you to “cross the border” between the two towns! Â Purchase before the end of May for the pre-season price.
Although most of my beach time is before and after the tag checker hours, I am happy to contribute to the protection and maintenance of our beautiful shore line.
Money well spent!

Opening Soon…
The “Opening Soon” signs are appearing in store and restaurant windows around the island.
We are grateful for the businesses that endure the LONG winter and manage to keep their doors open with a limited customer base.
And we are excited for more dining and shopping options as the season approaches.

Bunks Beds in Rental Homes
Recently, I posted a picture of built in bunk beds on Twitter. Â Bunk rooms have become a popular addition in many new construction homes.
The post prompted a few questions about what’s permitted under the rental license guidelines.
Bedroom occupancy is based on fire codes, and requires 50 square feet per person.
If a bedroom measures 100 square feet (a 10′ x 10′ room)- occupancy limit of 2
150 square feet – occupancy limit of 3
200 square feet- occupancy limit of 4
If you are thinking about changing beds in a particular room and/or adding bunk beds, make sure the dimensions will allow the additional sleeping spaces.
Also, be sure the beds do not obstruct the egress windows.

Getting warmer!
Morning beach walk sighting- Â I believe we saw a bald eagle on the beach at Stone Harbor Point.
One clue: it took flight while we were still blocks away. Â It looked too large to be a seagull- plus the gulls will let us almost trip over them- no fear of humans!

Beach Weather?
How cold is it? Â My Christmas cactus is seriously starting to bloom again!
Thankfully, temperatures closer to 60 degrees are forecasted for the next few days (subject to that chilly sea breeze of course).

Discovery Channel- Shore Version
On this morning’s episode…
I watched the precision high dive of an osprey into the ocean. The hawk surfaced with a surprisingly large fish -especially considering the shallow water depth.
The fish was heavier than a normal catch, causing the osprey to land on the beach several times for a better grip.
After a few minutes of attempted take off and forced landings, the osprey gave up and left the fish behind. Â The hawk quickly returned over the ocean in search of “lighter fare” for breakfast!
So, if you find a random dead fish in your yard, it’s not from some epic flood.
Likely leftovers from an overzealous osprey 🙂
