Held the last Saturday in August, the Lagoon of Lights began as a block party on Manahawkin Bay. A steady procession of boats parades past lagoonfront homes, resplendent lights as family and friends toast the end of the 2022 summer season from their docks. Fences don’t make good neighbors in Beach Haven West as a group of spectators angle for a better look at the boat parade. The spirit of the celebration.
