YOUR WEEKEND GUIDE DOWN THE SHORE

Summer Guide Inside

Today only! Your 200-page guide to the Jersey Shore in our
annual Summer Guide.

1. New amusements at Breakwater Beach, Seaside Heights

Dive right into the new wave pool at Breakwater Beach, the water park in Seaside Heights. Designed for
all ages, the artificially generated waves mimic the pull and rush of the ocean. Think of it as an option
when the real ocean is flagged for rip tides or jellyfish. Other additions will be a speed slide and a serpentine slide.

2. Food trucks in Asbury Park

New to the Asbury Park waterfront later this summer are food trucks that will be located just north of the
Ocean and Seventh avenues roundabout. The six trucks, slated to open by July 4, offer a unique selection
of foods, from vegetarian to barbecue. The area also will feature an amusement area with games and a
picnic area including table seating, a bike rack, signage and lighting.

3. New roller coaster in Keansburg

Keansburg Amusement Park introduces Looping Star, an Italian-made roller coaster that has one
loop and offers turns, drops and over-the-edge twists.

4. Fishermans Walkway and Tices Shoal at Island Beach State Park

The popular Fishermans Walkway has been completely restored and reopened to the public.
The 1,000-foot long, 8-foot-wide walkway is a popular surf fishing access point. It also provides
beach access for people with disabilities. Not as popular is the new $3 fee for boaters who come
ashore after anchoring at Tices Shoal.

Eat in or get carside service.

5. Highlands to Hamptons ferry ride

SeaStreak is offering a new ferry service to the Hamptons. A three-hour ride to
Port Jefferson on Long Island costs $30 one way; a trip to Southampton, $50. You
also can take a five-hour trip to Marthas Vineyard ($165 one way; $240 round
trip) or a 712-hour trip to Nantucket ($175 one way, $260 round trip.)

SUSANNE CERVENKA @SCERVENKA

ASBURY PARK Department of Environmental
Protection Commissioner Bob Martin didnt mince
words when he spoke about the property owners who
refuse to sign off on easements needed for an Ocean
County beach replenishment project.
The only word that comes to mind is selfish, he
said of the holdouts.
Martin spoke Thursday at the New Jersey Sea
Grant Consortiums 13th annual State of the Shore report, which highlights the health of the states 127
miles of shoreline.
Overall, New Jerseys beaches are outstanding
and the water quality is great, Martin said.
In between lauding the states beaches from
which New Jersey derives roughly half of its $42 billion tourism industry Martin updated reporters on
the status of various beach replenishment projects.
Here are five highlights from the presentation and
interviews with Martin and the states top coastal scientists.
