It’s one of those hot summer nights, like, really hot, when the temperature barely drops after the sun finally slips at 8:30. It’s just tolerable on LBI, with a west wind or “land breeze” that’s keeping the Island just as stifling as inland.

For those who don’t want to be stuck inside trying to survive in air conditioning, the other option is a nice swim. The Atlantic Ocean is a great way to cool off.
