Winter on the coast of New Jersey

Winter of 2017 in coastal New Jersey

Selected winter photos from the coast of New Jersey (2011).

I live on a barrier island that is approximately 25 miles long - at the south end is Barnegat Inlet, at the north end is Manasquan Inlet. I recently had the opportunity to visit both in the same day. (the last two photographs are iPhone snapshots).

These photos are of winter in Mantoloking, post Hurricane Sandy. Most of them are iPhone Snapshots.

Here on the coast of New Jersey, especially in the winter, when the wind blows out of the southwest, the bay gets rough, and the ocean waves get pushed up, with spray blowing back from their tips.
