Up and down the Jersey Shore, movie fans are enjoying outdoor entertainment.
Movies on the beach are sweeping the Jersey Shore as a popular, no cost, relaxing way to spend a summer night. It’s a Thursday night in Asbury Park and the 2nd Avenue Beach is packed with people on their blankets and in beach chairs. The Goonies is playing on the big screen which stands on the beach along the boardwalk across from Langosta Lounge. “It’s a classic childhood movie and it’s free and that’s the coolest thing ever,” said Asbury Park resident Jason Degruttola. “It’s one of the most innovative things that the Jersey Shore has done.” Mike Barrella of Bayville is arriving late, about 10 minutes into the movie. Lugging a beach chair, he’s here with his family and is eager to settle down. “It’s great for the family and it’s good for …

Young and old, male and female flocked to Mallard Park July 30 to enjoy the final night of the Manasquan Fireman’s Fair sponsored by Manasquan Volunteer Engine Company No. 2. During its five-day run, the fair drew tens of thousands for its wild – and some tame – rides, games-of-chance, a super 50/50, huge assortment of foods, and beer tent. “We enjoy putting on this event for the public and hope everyone can come out and take advantage of what we have to offer. It was an institution in Manasquan, and it basically ended in the late 80s, and we brought it back and revived it in 1998. It’s a fundraiser for our fire house – going back several years ago we needed an addition to our building on Parker Avenue,” said Fire Department Deputy Chief …
