Holiday beach tags will be available for purchase Thanksgiving Weekend. See below for details!
AVALON’S FESTIVE FRIDAY & SNOWFEST SATURDAY, AND STONE HARBOR’S ISLAND ELF HOLIDAY, both arrive Thanksgiving Weekend! Check out the activities listed below!
A LARGE SAILBOAT was grounded in Townsend’s Inlet on Sunday, on the southern tip of Sea Isle City’s beach. Though Townsend’s Inlet is generally deep and easy to navigate, strong tidal currents and a narrow bridge opening next to Sea Isle’s beach can make passage challenging at times. No word on why the sailboat went aground; on the next high tide cycle it was freed.
LOOK SKYWARD Thursday night/Friday morning to catch a partial lunar eclipse during the overnight hours. The moon will pass through the earth’s shadow beginning about 2am Friday, November 19th, and ending about 6am, with the maximum eclipse around 4am. The moon will glow red due to sunlight passing through the earth’s atmosphere. Lunar eclipses are especially fun to view from Cape May County since there is less light pollution compared to metropolitan areas.
HOLIDAY BEACH TAGS arrive in Avalon and Stone Harbor just in time to kick off the holiday season. The holiday tags will be available for purchase November 26th and 27th. In Avalon, visit the Beach Tag Booth between 10am and 4pm; in Stone Harbor, visit Borough Hall between 10am and 4pm. The tags are $25, and are good for the entire 2022 summer season. Can’t make your purchase in person? Holiday beach tags can be ordered online via www.jerseycapetags.com. While you’re there, check out their beach tag Christmas tree ornament packs!
