and there is no pressure to get there early. lots of people have work or service. i mean the bonfire won't start until it gets dark around 8. and since the bay is a walk across the rd. we can watch the sun set as we lite the fire. so call me or lynz for directions but once you go into island beach state park just follow the rd. all the way down past all the lifeguarded pts. there'll be a sign that says fisherman's walkway. park over there. there's a boardwalk to bring you on the beach and we'll be sitting around there. hope to see everyone there!!
