To the Editor:

For 32 years I have only known of one place to go to while on vacation … Long Beach Island. I was fortunate enough to grow up with a family that loved the beach and that would rent the same beach house on Seventh Street in Surf City for two weeks each summer.

This would be the same house my grandfather had taken my father to when he was a child. In my family we would come to coin the house, simply enough, “7th St.”
