It would have been completely understandable if someone had confused the start of Easter weekend on Saturday with Memorial Day weekend, the blockbuster holiday that traditionally kicks off the busy summer tourism season at the shore. There were, for instance, large Memorial Day-like crowds. Often nearly empty at this time of year, the beaches had their fair share of sunbathers. Even the weather was summer-ish, with temperatures rising into the comfortable 70s.

The 34th Street playground in Ocean City has served as a public recreation site for children and adults since the 1940s.

Blustery winds and temperatures that were stubbornly stuck in the mid-40s on Tuesday made it seem like a late winter day at the shore, not early spring.

The numbers are astonishing: More than 6,400 homes across New Jersey could be elevated over the next 50 years to protect them from flooding caused by rising sea levels. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the federal agency that is proposing the plan, says it would cost about $7.6 billion to implement, although funding has not yet been approved by the federal or state governments.

It’s like getting delivery service on the beach – without even having to place an order. Hungry beachgoers in Sea Isle City will be able to sit back, relax and simply wait for the ice cream man or woman to show up again this summer. But wait, there’s more. Beachgoers will also have the opportunity again to buy acai bowls while soaking up the summer rays in Sea Isle.

Both rugged and scenic, Crook Horn Creek Trail is a place for nature lovers to savor Ocean City’s bayside beauty in the south end of the island. Bette McCarron and her late husband, Jack, would help to keep the trail looking nice and neat by removing litter, tires and even hypodermic needles each spring. “We would collect 15 to 25 bags of trash,” said McCarron, who has lived on Dory Drive, close to the trail, for 35 years.
Sea Isle Opposes N.J. Legislation to Exempt Surfers and Anglers From Beach Tags | Breaking AC

Are they heading to the beach, or the ocean? The sand-or-water question has sparked debate in New Jersey over whether everyone should have to pay for a beach tag at the shore during the summer – even to surf or fish. Legislation pending in the New Jersey Assembly would exempt surfers and anglers from having to buy beach tags. However, Sea Isle City officials have come out against the proposed legislation, contending it would simply create confusion and would be virtually impossible to enforce.

Wildwood is warning that it will strictly enforce its 10 p.m. curfew this summer – with both juveniles and their parents at risk for being arrested for violations. Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. said Wildwood’s get-tough policy is no bluff. “Listen, this isn’t a suggestion — it’s the law. We’re not playing games when it comes to the safety of our boardwalk and the families who come here to enjoy themselves. You break the rules, you deal with the consequences.
