Spring at the Shore, like elsewhere, is a time of renewal and rebirth, a time of pleasure and relief for senses weary of winter's limited palette. We are renewed with colors, scents, and sounds, and the mind is refreshed and given to more upbeat thoughts. Spring is often a busy time at the Shore, and JERSEY SHORE Magazine and JERSEY SHORE Publications Online are designed to bring you a wealth of information to help make life more enjoyable "down the Shore." If you're a local resident or a long-time visitor, you may find things you haven't discovered or be reminded of offerings you may have forgotten. When using these resources, you'll find a myriad of information to make your time at the Shore more rewarding and exciting. On our cover and throughout our pages, we are proud to present paintings and photographs by the Shore's most talented artists and photographers. This edition's cover, "Afternoon By The Twin Lights," was painted by Theresa Troise Heidel, one of the nation's finest watercolorists. Her image compliments perfectly our feature article about this iconic northern Monmouth County landmark. Throughout our guides, you'll find many places to go and things to do. Our calendar of events will take you through the happenings of the spring season and also includes theater and concert events. Our guides include attractions and activities, parks and recreation areas, historic sites and museums, lighthouses, public golf courses, farmers' markets, and more. You'll also find guides to stores and shops, art galleries, home and garden, real estate, and dining out among others. Page through JERSEY SHORE Magazine and visit us online. May you find inspiration and discoveries to enrich your life along the beautiful New Jersey Coast. —George Valente, Editor and Publisher W
