Last week, we ran one of our most popular events of the summer, the Sand Sculpture contest. We had people competing of all different ages and team sizes. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners were awarded in 6 different categories. 18 trophies are given out in total. Several families have made this their family tradition to compete during their Summer vacation! A big thank you goes out to our sponsor, Ron Jon Surf Shop, and to the members of the SCTA for organizing the event. This event is always held either the first or second Wednesday of August depending on the tides. Check the website every year to know when it will be held if you are interested in competing!

In a topic of importance to many Surf City taxpayers, the state legislature has sent a bill to Governor Murphy to exempt some homeowners from a new tax that would be levied on rentals of homes.

This article from NorthJersey.com details the exemptions and states that it is yet unclear whether  the Governor intends to sign the new bill.

Coming up soon is Surf City’s annual Foul Shooting Contest, Pancake Breakfast, the first Mini Golf Tournament of the Summer! The second half of the month will host the Flea Market and the Surflight Theater Show and Lunch. See our list of events below for the first half of the month!
