Still have not heard nor seen any new activity down there.

On my way to work this morning, I saw the yellow Hands supply truck, driving north from BH, so I think that is a good sign!

Rumor is that Hands opened today! I will check over the weekend for hours.

WE WERE WONDERING IF TUCKERS IS REOPENING?

  sls5517 wrote @

From what I hear, Tucker’s is not reopening, however, it is not 100% due to Sandy according to ex-staff, the owner was thinking of selling anyway before the storm.

  Anonymous wrote @

Is there any news about Hands in Beach Haven?

  sls5517 wrote @

I have not been down to BH recently, however, I have seen the yellow “Hand’s” trucks on the blvd, so I would think they are building inventory for the summer. I will let you know if I hear a definitive opening date.

  sls5517 wrote @

Rumor is Hand’s opened today, I will check for hours this weekend!

  Anonymous wrote @

Any news about Marvels

  sls5517 wrote @

I have not heard anything about Marvels, but I did hear a rumor that Surf City Bakery is owned by the same people and will be opening back up. So we will have to wait and see.

We were down this weekend, and saw that Hands is open and Bywatyr shop had a sign in the window Open May 1.
also had lunch at Freds Diner. Slowly but surely we are coming back. The beach also looked GREAT.

  barbara960 wrote @

Are any of the miniature golf places on the North End going to open?

  sls5517 wrote @

I have not heard specifics on when, but i am 99% sure they will open for the summer season. I have not heard any rumors of not opening and as soon as I hear summer opening dates I will update the site and let you know. One story I head was that the Ship Bottom golf courses opened on the weekends for all the construction workers who were bored, haha. Can’t wait for them all to open this summer!

  Bob brechka wrote @

Any word on Marvels. My grand kids are concerned about the donuts.

  sls5517 wrote @

I drove by today, lights are on on the porch and they still have signs on the windows, but I did not see anything about an opening date. My family and I would bike down for doughnuts in the morning, telling ourselves the bike ride counteracted the doughnuts haha. If I hear any more news I will let you know!

  Regina Lotito-Starin wrote @

Dollar Parlor, Country Kettle Fudge and Chowda are open as well as most of Bay Village shops…

  April wrote @

Thanks so much!!!! Great news! I can also add that country kettle chowda is open too – my sisters drove down for the day last weekend and brought me back a quart of the worlds best lobster bisque. 🙂

  Rob wrote @

Anyone know if the Marlin is open or opening?

The Marlin opens tomorrow April 26th!

  louise wrote @

Any word on island Wellness in Spray Beach? How about the Beach Haven Fishery??

  sls5517 wrote @

They have been working on the Fishery, so I believe they will open for the summer. I will have to look at island wellness, I am not sure what their status is.

Any word on Crust & Crumb bakery and Bay Village Pizza?

  sls5517 wrote @

Crust and Crumb will be opening for the summer, I just do not know the date.

  Nikole wrote @

How about the Fritzies Liquor Store on between 33rd and 32nd in Beach Haven?

  sls5517 wrote @

Fritzies is not open yet, they had just recently knocked out a whole wall so I believe they are expanding. I would think they would be up and running for the Summer season.

Any word about the Wicker Store in Ship Bottom

They are working on it still. I will post when they have an opening date.

Pinky’s Shrimp is now open.

  Megan wrote @

It says the arcade will be open at Fantasy Island, but what about the rides? Also, what happen to Jayson’s

  sls5517 wrote @

I believe the rides do not open up until close to memorial day weekend usually, so I think they would open the same time this year. Jayson’s pancake house just got a new sign a few weeks ago, so I am sure they will be open for the summer.

  Becky wrote @

Any word on Dom’s Drive In? Are they open?

Dom’s is not open yet, not sure when they will open, but I will be sure to post when I hear.

In 1950 before I was born my grandfather bought a house at 126 e 27th st beach haven gardens. I spent 50 summers on long beach island & am do glad that superstore
Sandy was not the end to my favorite place in the world. Unfortunately my family mo longer owns that house but LBI will
forever be my first love.
