BEACHWOOD – Due to a lack of interested potential lifeguards, the Beachwood beach on the Toms River will be closed this season.
“For months, the lifeguard advertisements were posted on the Borough’s website, the Police Department website, and other various social media platforms as well as contacting local high schools and other agencies in search of potential lifeguards,” a message from the mayor and council said. “Unfortunately, the Borough has received only one application. For the safety of all, the Borough requires that no one goes swimming this year. For those who like to sit on the beach and enjoy the view, you may continue to do so.”
Borough officials are looking forward to the beach opening next year. They noted that they cover the cost for the American Red Cross Water Front Certifications as well as offer a competitive hourly rate.
