To try and avoid any further injury or tragedy in the Jersey Shore beach season upon us, it is absolutely imperative you follow all the rules and listen to the lifeguards.
Summer in Ocean County won't be like it has been in years past due to the pandemic and it's already having an impact on people whose busy working season occurs between Memorial Day and Labor Day, including Lifeguards.
