While September is usually warm enough to enjoy the beach, only a handful of beaches on Long Beach Island will have lifeguards following Labor Day weekend.
In Barnegat Light, guards will be on duty through Labor Day and the weekend following Labor Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., reported Councilwoman Dottie Reynolds, chair of the beaches and parks committee. “No beaches will be guarded on weekdays after Labor Day.”
The plan is for beaches to be manned by guards on weekends at Ninth, 22nd and 30th streets, with additional beaches open depending on availability of lifeguards, borough officials said.
Information on guarded beaches is posted on the electronic sign outside the post office on West 10th Street.
