Noticed dive flags flying at Maclearie Park in Belmar today. New stairs for diver entry plus lockers for personal items constructed along the sea wall adjacent to the picnic area. First I've noticed it as I pass by there often - looks brand new.
I was over there last week...Lots of Jet skis pulling up and rafts and other assorted water crafts. What I heard, a sign is going up that this entrance is for divers only...... Cops just walked by, no incentive to give tickets...When summer comes unless something is done about additional water crafts, it will be a free for all!!!
