"With some schools starting remote learning next week and many parents continuing to work from home, the Township Council and I decided that it would make sense to keep our beaches open through September 27th," Mayor Maurice B. Hill said. "We hope our residents and visitors will take advantage of our beaches and enjoy some beautiful September weather."
