Island Beach State Park Partially Reopened

[dogg57]

Nearly three months after Superstorm Sandy swamped Island Beach State Park, sections of the park are now open to the public, free of charge.
“This partial reopening of Island Beach State Park is an important benchmark in the state’s recovery from Sandy,” Gov. Chris Christie said. “While there is still much work to be done, we know that having even partial access to the park is important to residents and visitors and we are thrilled to welcome them back.”

We were able to get a permission into the park a couple weeks back. The power of the storm was amazing, some amazing pictures. Many familiar landmarks are gone.

The Toms River and portions of the bay are frozen over. Once the wrmer weather hits next week there will be ice chunks floating out the inlet on the lowering tides, probably carrying a lot of Sandy garbage along.
