Seaside Heights, NJ

My Grandmother lived here and I spent many summers here as a child and young adult.
I enjoy coming here more in the off season,
before the vacationers and people from out of town take over the area.
This town suffered so much damage from super storm sandy,
but they have rebuilt and recovered.

The beaches are beautiful.


The dune replenishment project has taken a long time but it is well underway...

The amusement rides that were in the ocean after the storm,
have been rebuild and are as colorful as ever!

One lone laughing gull was enjoying the sunshine and the view...

This boat and 

Lucky Leo's have been here for as long as I can remember.

As we walked back to the car, I noticed this cool dolphin bike rack.
Seaside Heights, lots of good memories for me!

    Your family goes back a long way in the area. It is quite rare these days. Once a couple who are from different regions get married, obviously one if them will be displaced. In our case Miriam was born and raised locally but I am from away.

    My husband and I were there on Easter Sunday and so happy to see all the improvements since Sandy and also the fire! It was lovely! I spent many a summer there as a young child and have nothing but happy memories of Seaside! Hugs to you and Chuck!

    Grandparents can be the source of many fond memories! That area is gorgeous too. It has been beautifully restored.

    That's a beautiful place! I'm guessing it won't be much longer before you don't have it to yourself.

    It is always wonderful to see something come back from tragedy and as you said they have done a wonderful job. I remember our first time going there when Greg was stationed at McGuire and when we were on the beach we were the only ones speaking English around us, LOL!
