Mantoloking was one of the hardest hit areas when Sandy slammed the Jersey Shore. Plans for restoration are in the works and nearly ready to begin, but five residents are holding up progress for the entire town.
Governor Chris Christie and President Barack Obama have each told residents and consumers across the country that the Jersey shore is open for business this summer, but that's not true everywhere along the coast.
During Prince Harry's trip to Seaside Heights and Mantoloking, security is expected to be far beyond the norm according to several Seaside Heights councilmen.
Prince Harry will be in New Jersey on Tuesday. He wants to see the part of the Jersey Shore that Superstorm Sandy hit the hardest. He'll be accompanied by Governor Christie when he tours "ground zero" of the storm, Mantoloking. He'll also be stopping by Seaside Heights to see the progress of Restore The Shore. We figured since Harry will be at the Shore, he might as well get the full experience. That's why we asked you on Facebook to name a landmark or hot spot in Monmouth & Ocean counties that is a must for the Prince to see.
England’s Prince Harry will visit the Shore next week before heading to a news conference nearby.

We have been inundated by the images of destruction left behind by Sandy. The sights are sobering, shocking and quite frankly, depressing. In a time like this, positive thinking is key. Instead of sharing the shots of devastation, share this collection with your friends and family. Let's remember the Jersey Shore and look forward to the Jersey Shore that will be rebuilt in the future.
