After suffering nearly four months without live music, LBI has come back to life. Fire Pit Fridays have returned to the 68th Street beach in the Brant Beach section of Long Beach Township, with a most successful kick-off.

A painterly sky and warm winds set the mood, highlighted by storm clouds in the distance and a fiery sunset. Fireplaces Plus provided propane-powered fire pits whereby families could keep warm and kids could roast their marshmallows.
