Rumson-Fair Haven area people, it’s cold outside!
So, here’s a peek back to the summer of 2014 on Sea Bright beach to warm you up a little.
The volleyball nets were up, beach bums were sunning, swimming and surfing and a reminder of what’s to come with the rebirth of Donovan’s Reef sat barren on the beach.
The mainstay locals’ beach bar, obliterated by Hurricane Sandy, was slated for a small preview-like comeback over the summer. A tiki bar was set up on the beach but never quite made it to full-swing operational mode.
Word is that the iconic bar will be back in much different form for the summer of 2015.
