The life guards and beach cleaning crews are paid by the municipalities (not the State of New Jersey). Those costs are partially funded by beach tag sales by the way.
No beach closures in our area.
Avalon, Stone Harbor, and the surrounding shores towns are definitely open for business!
Which is more stressful- the Schuylkill Expressway at rush hour…or Dune Drive on 4th of July weekend?
Stay alert for:
The woman leaving the Sunday Farmer’s Market carrying her haul of bacon on a stick.
Bike riders juggling their oversized purchases from Hoy’s.
The late arrivals to Boot Camp at the 81st Street rec area.
Oh no…church is letting out!
The sudden car stops for family drop off at Uncle Bill’s.
The Tour de France trainees exceeding the 25 mph speed limit.
Whew…I found a parking spot near my office- I feel like I won the video game 😉
P.S. Â Monday 7/3/17- Today I drove on Ocean Drive to work- only hazards were the speedy turtles crossing the road!

Two opportunities to watch the fireworks this week:
Sunday July 2nd- 95th Street beach in Stone Harbor (new location and date)
Tuesday July 4th- 30th Street beach in Avalon
Oystercatchers
Recently, I noticed that my year round beach friends are not as skittish when I walk by.
In contrast, the seagulls will practically dare you to trip over them- forcing walkers to move out of THEIR way!
Maybe the oystercatchers are following their lead 🙂
Yesterday, I left the office for an hour for “maintenance” and was kidding with the young lady at the nail salon not to tell!
Because of my busy summer work schedule, I don’t look at these appointments as a luxury. Â In fact, I request the express version so that I can be in and out quickly.
The nail technician knows what I do for a living, and shared a funny observation. Â She said that I’m “not fancy” like other real estate agents she knows.
She even clarified her reasoning: it’s because I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, heavy make-up or frilly clothes! Oh, and I don’t have long nails!
Ironically, I usually stop in on a day off in my completely un-fancy mode. Â Yesterday, I was at least dressed for work!
I decided to take her observation as a compliment. Â I guess my practical appearance reflects my practical personality.
I am who I am 😎
Comfortable temperatures and low humidity…perfect beach weather!
Happy to help you plan a visit (weekly rental) or a more extended stay (purchase)!

The weather cooperated – mostly.
The Avalon Beach Patrol determined that the ocean was too rough for the swim portion (good call…huge waves!)
And the sun returned in time for the finish line.

Cooler by a Mile…and by the ocean!
Summer Continues!
