Every…
… visit to the beach is line a day in paradise.
… resplendent sunrise over the ocean is amazing.
… safe weekend drive on the Garden State Parkway is like winning a Roman chariot race.
… day at the beach without a sunburn is equivalent to leaving a cave to enjoy the stolen gift of fire from Prometheus, without getting scorched.
The water at Island Beach State park was spectacularly clear. Never have I seen (or could have imagined) the ocean of the New Jersey shore so beautiful. The waves were exciting with intermittent rollers suitable for surfing.
