Beachgoers enjoy Labor Day down at the Jersey Shore

OCEAN CITY, N.J. (WPVI) — It’s been a winner of a weekend at the Jersey Shore.

The beaches were packed day on Monday, and for good reason. Beachgoers were relishing their time down at the shore this Labor Day weekend marking the unofficial end to the summer season.

The beach was full of families enjoying below average temperatures and low humidity on the final day of August.

“The air is fresh out here, it smells great. I’m taking it in,” said Aisha Young of Blackwood, NJ.

“As you can see we’re out here in sweats so we’re not hot but we don’t want to be too cold once the temperature starts to drop.”

This weekend is one last chance for businesses to rake in sales as large crowds and visitors will soon start dying down, but for now there’s plenty of traffic on the boardwalk.

“We got some caramel popcorn from Johnson’s. I came all the way down from Lansdale just to get it to stuff my face,” said Joe Dedominic of Lansdale, Pa.

“I’m just soaking it up and enjoying it, eating some Johnson’s popcorn and ice cream, all the sweet stuff,” added Kristen Clark of Cherry Hill.

Whether it’s popcorn, French fries, ice cream or pizza, visitors are taking it all in.

“The kids start school on Friday so it was big hoorah, so all the high school kids were down here and they had a blast,” said Amanda Saitta of Lansdale, Pennsylvania.

A long weekend at the shore is always welcome and while this one is ending, it’s not over yet. People are squeezing in every second of fun they can here at the end of the season.

“It’s been a lot of fun, last weekend of the summer so you gotta come out and enjoy it, beautiful weather, so we’re having a great time,” said Joseph Connolly of Horsham, Pa.
