Summer has arrived, and what sets Long Beach Island apart from so much of the world is its nightlife, some of which can be enjoyed sans shoes. See some of the Jersey Shore’s best party bands on the big stage without ever leaving the beach!

Fire Pit Fridays will return to Long Beach Township on June 23, with rock ’n’ roll trio BMW (Jimmy Brogan, Destinee Monroe, Billy Walton) kicking off the series on the Berkshire Hathaway ZACKshore stage. Shows go on at 7 p.m., weather permitting.
