PHOTOS: Belmar Boardwalk Gone

Now begins the long rebuilding

BELMAR, NJ -- The first hurricane in recorded history to strike the Jersey Shore did the worst damage.

Beyond the billions of dollars in rebuilding costs, Hurricane Sandy destroyed the Jersey Shore's prominent icons.

The Belmar Boardwalk, known for its simplicity, its sunshines that spread across its surface, was one. Now it's gone.

But it will come back.

I visited the Steel Pier more than 50 years ago. What happened to it?

I hope and pray that the vintage Looft-Wurlitzer carousel on the Seaside Heights boardwalk still stands. It's priceless and awesome, and I enjoyed it as a child in the 1950s.

They're mostly looting in Atlantic City.
