This weekend the Ocean will be a challenge. After Labor Day, we will have a reduced lifeguard staff patrolling on our beaches for the month of September. Enjoy this special time; but please exercise safety. Please swim with caution - don’t take the chance- P L E A S E !

I urge everyone to promote water safety. Please swim when lifeguards are on duty!

We will continue to focus on Service and Progress as a Municipal Team.

That’s all for now!

We have a lot to be thankful for here in Bradley Beach, and much to celebrate.  

Thank you- and see you around town. Hope to see you next weekend at our events!
