Since 1936, the Long Beach Township Beach Patrol has protected beachgoers along the township’s noncontiguous 12 miles of ocean beach. Anyone interested in joining the LBTBP – either to lifeguard for the end of this summer, or to get a head start for the 2022 season – is asked to attend a series of mandatory training sessions in August.

An American Red Cross Emergency Medical Response course will be held Saturday, Aug. 7; Sunday, Aug. 8; Saturday, Aug. 14; and Sunday, Aug. 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at town hall, located at 6805 Long Beach Blvd. in Brant Beach.
