Summer in NJ?

Crab after being destroyed and eaten by a seagul
What to do on a hot summer day in New Jersey, drive east and hit the Atlantic. I went to Belmar just because here, the beach is the beach wherever you are.
I went with my friend Jessica, and we just took the highway east out of Bordentown, and followed horrible gps directions that took us to dead end roads.
Once we got to the beach we were thirsty and ready to go into the water. We got some lemonade on the boardwalk which is great.

Well, Since I had just returned to NJ from Spain I was not ready for the cold Atlantic! After about 5 seconds of being in there I was out.
And basically dedicated the rest of my time to watch the ecotonal life. We watched a crab get torn apart and eaten by a bird, and then some kid went up to the bird and scared it away. But the best part was that he started breaking down and crying in front of the remains of the crab and had a little mini-funeral for it. It was so cute, but I'm also pretty sure that kid will have problems later in life.
