It's that time of year again! The Sandy Hook Beach Concerts are due to begin their summer season in just a few weeks. Hopefully this year won't get the same number of rain-outs as last year.
For me, this is the quintessential summer activity and my favorite thing to do every summer. Imagine sitting in your beach chair or blanket on the sand with your good friends, enjoying a picnic dinner and glass of wine, with the sound of the surf crashing behind you and the stage in front with bands ranging from reggae to soul to country rock.
It's a big party with a couple of thousand people that's low-key, relaxing and filled with laughs. There's a fascinating assortment of people: some on the dance floor, some under a flag to signify their location to friends, some digging in the sand. Most are just chillin' to the music.
It's sponsored by the Sandy Hook Foundation who also offers a 50/50 raffle every night. The winning ticket has sometimes walked away with over $5000. The proceeds help pay expenses and further the efforts of the foundation to preserve Sandy Hook.
Hope to see you there!

Wow that brings back memories! I spent a lot of time at the Jersey Shore. The one thing you miss living in Colorado is the beach!
I'll have to keep your contact info if I ever need a realtor in New Jersey!
Thanks for bringing me back!
Your welcome Kellie! I'm hoping to take a lot of photos this summer -- it's a colorful crowd. If so I'll be sure to post them so you can relive your Jersey Shore days. Feel free to send me some info about your market and I'll keep it in my database if I ever have clients moving your way.
