This weekend, oceans will be unlocked, thousands will gather in the sand for beach concerts, and 5,000 beach balls will descend upon the Atlantic City boardwalk, as the start of summer kicks off at the Jersey Shore. Hundreds of thousands of visitors will flock to the Shore to relish in the magic that can only be experienced in our backyard.
Shore Local’s newest entertainment and dining guide, Wahoo, has everything you need to know about the latest events, entertainment and dining here in South Jersey. Look for the yellow highlighted pages (52-81) for your guide to everything fun at the Jersey Shore.
This summer, we look forward to welcoming several new developments including Spiegelworld, a live entertainment production company, coming to Atlantic City, featured on page 78. With dozens of new dining experiences to be had, there are endless opportunities for memory-making. Beach concerts and multi-day festivals are back like never before.
Have you ever noticed that time seems to go by faster in the summertime? To ensure we make the most of it, Bob and I made a list of 5-10 experiences that we really want to make happen this summer and hung it on our calendar. Some are fancy and indulgent, but most are the simple pleasures of life at the Shore, like watching a sunrise over the ocean.
Cruising the back bays at sunset on a tiki boat is high on our “must-do” list this year. If this is something you want to try also, check out the multitude of South Jersey-based tiki boat cruises available on page 64.
Memorial Day is about much more than barbeques and summer fun. It is a time to reflect on and honor those who have fought and sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Check out the schedule of Memorial Day observances throughout the area on page 8-9. Visit page 10 for a heroic story that will capture your heart and serve as a beautiful reminder of the true meaning of Memorial Day. Many veterans quietly walk among us every day. Memorial Day is a reminder to observe and express gratitude for these incredible men and women. The freedoms and liberties we experience as we move through our daily lives are only possible because of the sacrifices made by our veterans.
Whether you are a year-round, seasonal, or weekend “South Jersian”, you can count on Shore Local to keep you in the know. We will continue to spotlight the people, places, and events that make our community the place to be this (and every) summer.
Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, and God Bless America.
Peace & Love,
Cindy
