Incredible history of New jersey’s southern beaches towns with great photos!
I purchased this second volume of the Ocean Access series; part one was for the northern beaches (point pleasant, LBI) - this one covers those between Atlantic City and Cape May. While I’ve been to both of these towns, I’ve never made to the other ones featured in this book and WOW - they look amazing. Avalon, Sea isle City, Stone Harbor - The photos in this book make these towns look like postcards. I always wanted to learn about how these shore towns began, and these two Ocean Access books explain it perfectly.
