First Tradewinds, Now the Surf Club

Developers are building on all of the great old Shore bars. What's next, the Parker House goes condo? Donovan's is bulldozed over for a McMansion?


"DOVER TOWNSHIP — The music may soon die at Joey Harrison's Surf Club, a beachfront landmark that has lured summer revelers to Ortley Beach for more than 50 years.

On Wednesday, Centex Homes LLC received approval from the Planning Board to build "The Sands At Ortley Beach," a 28-unit town house development on the Surf Club property, at 1900 Ocean Ave., and on a parking lot at Route 35 North and Seventh Avenue."

I think its a travesty for them to do this sort of thing. Ever since Tradewinds got bulldozed for McMansions, I have had a fear that the other beach clubs will follow the trend. Lets hope not! We don't need any more tacky homes blocking views of the ocean!
