Oceanfront homeowners between Manasquan and Barnegat inlets are being urged to sign easements necessary for a beach renourishment project to get off the ground by May 1, officials said Thursday. U.S. Rep Jon Runyan (R-3) wrote to the mayors of a number of northern Ocean County municipalities this week urging them to secure all necessary easements for the massive dune and beach project by May 1, the date the Army Corps of Engineers must submit a work plan to Congress. The project's design – which would include the construction of approximately 25-foot high dunes, 75 foot wide berms and 175 acres of dune grass in the project area – was completed in 2007, but has languished after some oceanfront homeowners refused to sign easements that would…

The Point Pleasant Beach fixture is one of several Jenkison's properties to reopen Friday.
A few feet past the welcome sign, the boardwalk, what’s left of it, is still cordoned off. In the opposite direction, in front of the rows of shops with their metal gates pulled down and locked, shielding the view of damaged insides, heavy machines rumbled along, redistributing sand along the beach. Things are moving in the right direction. They’ve got a responsibility, said Toby Wolf, Jenkinson's Marketing Director, standing in front of a shark tank at Jenkison’s Aquarium. Wolf said that as New Jersey’s shore towns make their recovery following Hurricane Sandy, the business community needs to be there to welcome the community back, let them know that, despite the destruction caused by the storm, the businesses are not going anywhere. On…

What the first devestating week looked like from my Mantoloking Road vantage point
It’s been a week since Hurricane Sandy hit and like many others, we still have no electricity at my house off Mantoloking Road. Our neighborhood is humming with the sound of generators, but I’ve been worried about the silent households ever since the temperatures dropped. In the past week, I (like you) have seen a lot, starting with a house strewn in the middle of Gale Road. A homeowner there said it washed across the bay and through the marsh onto his low lying street—a street that still reeked of diesel fuel on Thursday. Homeowners were shoveling thick, smelly muck from their driveways like it was snow that day. They thanked me for stopping and listening, even though that’s all I did. My brother-in-law lost most of his belongings in a …

Clubs, bars, and cover charges for popular Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant Beach summer destinations
Often, you pay to get in. That's the situation at Jersey Shore's bars and clubs – especially on the ever-popular peninsula across the bay from Toms River – where a cover charge is an upfront cost even before you spend more of your money inside on drinks and bar food. Like to party like the Jersey Shore crew? Rather than spending too much to fistpump or have your elbows stick to every bar top on the boardwalk, here is a list of the cover charges for some of the most popular nightlife destinations in Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant. A lot depends on the night and venue. Some places proudly have no cover charge no matter what day of the year it is, while you can expect to fork over $20 to get in to other places on a busy night.
