Surfers and joggers were among the first to return to area beaches when restrictions were eased a couple of weeks ago.
THE MARKET IS MOVING! After a slowdown during the first few weeks of April, market activity has resumed and there are currently 40 properties under contract in the local market! For a detailed look at the market see the latest Long & Foster Market Minute report below.

CHARTER FISHING AND WATERCRAFT RENTALS resumed earlier this week, with new guidelines in place to enhance safety. Reduced capacity, electronic reservations/payments, and no sharing of equipment are some of the restrictions that charter operations will follow. Watercraft rentals are allowed to operate following a “curbside pick up” type of business model similar to other retail operations. Masks are required while aboard the vessels.
OUTSIDE DINING is still under consideration in many shore towns as a way to help restaurants cope with capacity limits during the reopening. Among the many proposals being considered are using sidewalks and parking areas for dining, and closing streets to expand dining space further.
DRINKS TO GO: Many establishments are offering “drinks to go” as part of their take out business. Even if you can’t sit IN your favorite restaurant, at least you can enjoy the food & drinks you love on your own deck or porch! If ordering takeout or curbside pick up this weekend, please be sure to plan ahead and allow extra time for your order!
MEMORIAL DAY is upon us and we’re looking forward to the first long weekend at the shore. Most Memorial Day parades and ceremonies have been cancelled this year due to the pandemic, but let’s all take a moment to reflect upon those who have sacrificed so greatly in order to preserve the freedoms we enjoy in our nation.
