​BOARDWALK STROLL
Our Boardwalk Stroll sign project has been expanded! The Belmar beachfront now features 16 original photographs and vintage postcards that remind us of days past. As you make your way along the boardwalk, pause at each sign location to see buildings, streetscapes, and ocean scenes as they once were in that very location! Signs are in storage for the winter, but you can still see them online!
