Beach Replenishment continues in Ortley Beach

Beach replenishment is ongoing and the beach remains closed south of Fielder Ave. The ongoing operation produced a wonderful swimming pool over the weekend which was enjoyed by many.

Because sections of our beach are now closed, Ortley Beach badges will be honored in Seaside Heights.
