BOARDWALK STROLL
Our new Boardwalk Stroll sign project along the Belmar beachfront features original photographs and vintage postcards that remind us of days past. As you make your way along the boardwalk, pause to see buildings, streetscapes, and ocean scenes to see Belmar as it once was in that very location!
Events
RAILROADS, TOURISM, & COMMUTERS AT THE JERSEY SHORE
Tues., Oct. 1, 7:00 p.m.
Taylor Pavilion
5th & Ocean Aves., Belmar
Join us as we welcome Bill Elwell, adjunct professor of history at Monmouth University and long-time railroad enthusiast.
The Jersey Shore was destined to be a vacation mecca, but what was once desolate beachfront did not become that way overnight. We'll ride the rails back in time to discover how railroads were the defining factor in creating and shaping the development of our area.
This free event is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
