Left: From year's past, a
lone fisherman on the
Ocean Grove Fishing Pier
and Clubhouse enjoys a
full moon rising. The pier
is a well-known landmark
that has been damaged or
destroyed by numerous
storms over the years,
including a nor'easter in
1992, Hurricane Irene in
2011, and Superstorm Sandy
in 2012. The end third of
the pier and clubhouse,
which extended over the
ocean, was destroyed by
Sandy and has not yet been
rebuilt. Although there
is no fishing today, there
are plans to rebuild again,
including a new clubhouse.
The middle third of the pier
was damaged and rebuilt,
and visitors today can walk
on the partially rebuilt pier,
sit on the benches, and
enjoy the view.
Right: Beach roses bloom in
spring and summer along
the dunes of Ocean Grove.
Below: The wide boardwalk provides lots of room for strolling, running,
and biking, with plenty of benches to take a break and enjoy the view.
