The following letter was addressed to Long Beach Township Mayor Joseph Mancini, referencing a photo of a beach mat in use in Barnegat Light this past summer. There are no beach mats in use in Long Beach Township.
Dear Mayor Mancini:
I am enclosing a photo of a beach mat. These mats would make easy access to the ocean for the elderly and handicapped. I am now 91 years old, but my husband and I have been coming with our family to LBI for most summers since we first discovered it over 60 years ago.
