summer

When you head to a beach this summer, for a tan or a dip or swim in the water, there's a few key rules to follow.

Business and foot traffic was understandably down in 2020 due to the pandemic but with restrictions starting to loosen up as people get vaccinated, this summer could be much closer to what we saw in 2019.

May 18th is my birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better start to the day. I woke up early, squeezed into my wetsuit, and watched the sunrise while surfing waves. I was even fortunate to see a handful of dolphins jumping in and out of the ocean about 50 yards in front of me. Witnessing happy dolphins is special and it was the perfect birthday present! I was at my normal Belmar 20th Ave. surfing spot and it was simply one of those mornings that makes you feel thankful to be living at the Jersey Shore. With that, a HUGE congratulations to Belmar for being nationally recognized by Men's Journal.

Young New Jersey entrepreneurs deserve to be recognized. I was recently scrolling through Facebook and I saw something that many of you would not only appreciate but also you can possibly invite this special someone to your daughter/granddaughter's summer party. Just make sure you don't invite Ursula! With that, I am excited to get the word out about Sandy The Mermaid, she is the Jersey Shore's Ariel!

The cheesesteaks at Cheesesteak Louie's, which opened up in Seaside Heights two weeks ago is worth a trip to this spring and summer when you crave a good ole cheesesteak.

I started the week writing about a Mexican restaurant that just opened on Jenkinson's Boardwalk. It's called Cantina and it will easily be a beachgoer favorite this summer. Think about it, on a hot summer day, you want to find some shade, what's better than drinking a frozen margarita and eating tacos?! Now, after a tasty Mexican meal, for dessert, you can make your way to a brand new cereal-infused ice cream shop!

When it comes to BBQs, NJ does it better than any other state in America - read on to find out what foods we serve that make them so great.

Keep left for passing, stay right for leisurely strolling, and move over before you come to a stop! Should Jersey Shore boardwalks have Left Lane Rules like the Parkway does?

There has been pepped up demand for mobile vaccination units to be rolled out for months to help those especially who are homebound or are restricted to being home or unable to travel.

After more than two centuries, downtown freehold is the central gathering place for western Monmouth county for a reason. BECAUSE. IT. ROCKS. Oh and by the way, the Freehold Summer Concert Series is back baby!

Yes they are very cute and yes they are very small and defenseless, but Chip & Dale along with their cousins Alvin, Simon and Theodore are a handful around the house, especially if you have a backyard garden. Or as they like to call it a “food forest”.

With the help of many pool owners, I found the top-rated pool and spa companies at the Jersey Shore!
