Editor’s Note: This is the second in a six-week feature series, “Inside the Beach Patrols,” in which Gina G. Scala and David Biggy explore the uniqueness, flair and prestige of each of the six beach patrols on Long Beach Island, and why visitors and residents can feel safe throughout the summer.

School’s out for the summer, but there’s still a lot of learning at the Ship Bottom Beach Patrol headquarters and on the beaches, too.
