Beaches

Summer is in full swing, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to thank the hardworking lifeguards that keep our pools/lakes/beaches safe. Although every lifeguard is fantastic in their own way, we need your help choosing one to be South Jersey's favorite!

Beach season is here! Where can you go to the beach for free in South Jersey? We've got your hookup.

One of the world's most dangerous creatures can't get enough of the South Jersey coast. Mary Lee is back and just 6 miles east of this South Jersey beach town.

A series of open houses are being held this month — including at Monmouth University on Thursday.

Did you know that South Jersey is home to some lesser-known and less crowded beaches? Sometimes, a day at the beach can quickly turn into a noisy nightmare due to crowds, and out of control kids.

For those who are new to the area, you may not understand the impact that summer vacationers have on the lives of South Jersey residents. It may not look like it now, but trust me, once tourists take over the area, things we sometimes take for granted may become almost impossible to enjoy.
