Officials are urging everyone who heads to the Jersey shore and other local beaches to only swim when a lifeguard is on duty.
SEA ISLE CITY, New Jersey --The beach in Sea Isle City was as packed as it could get, and the boardwalk was just as crowded.
"We come down here every year on the Fourth. It's a family tradition and we love it," said Jordan Drelick of Harleysville, Pa.At James' Fudge, officials say it was a stellar weekend for sales as well.But, they still have plenty of fudge, homemade popcorn, and even cotton candy ready to go. "We love having families come down and seeing everybody and our regulars," said Kayla Jones of James' Fudge.Beachgoers say sometimes, it's the simple things that are appreciated the most."I get to see the fireworks and I get to run the mile race in Longport," added Sam Katchman.Even though the weekend was filled with fun, experts like Beach Patrol Chief Tom Kresz, say it's still important to be cautious while out in the water.
"The ocean conditions are really rough, a lot of rips. We're trying to move our lifeguard stands away from them. But some have rips on either side, so we really can't move them," said Kresz.Because of the rough surf, Lilo Lopez of Egg Harbor Township said she was spending her day on the boardwalk with family.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV.
