Just another lazy, hazy day at the shore.

Lots and lots of sea shells on the beaches today with an ocean water temperature of 70 degrees.  The air temperature is in the mid-70s as well.

Picture below is possibly LBI’s best surfing beach, Holyoke Avenue in Beach Haven.  As you can tell by the pictures today is not a good surfing day.
