Happy Memorial Day Weekend! It may seem like a technicality, but before we can officially get to summer fun 2019, someone has to "unlock the ocean".  Fortunately, here in South Jersey, we have just the folks for the job!

Several shore towns have ocean unlocking ceremonies planned. Wildwood's ceremony is at noon Friday on the Andrews Ave. Beach. Ocean City’s Unlocking of the Ocean and Businesspersons’ Plunge takes place at noon Friday at 9th Street. Atlantic City holds their official unlocking of the ocean at 1:30p Friday in conjunction with Resorts Annual Beach Ball Drop. Stone Harbor holds the official unlocking at noon Saturday on the 96th Street Beach.
