Sea Bright Beach Clubs See Life After Sandy

Beach club owners say that members will have the beach to come back to this summer after superstorm Sandy annihilated the summertime staples that line Ocean Avenue in this part of the Jersey Shore, according to a report on APP.com.

Owners of Driftwood and Edgewater, formerly Water's Edge, clubs say crews are working around the clock to have facilities rebuilt and ready for members come Memorial Day, the article reports.

John Chimento, the owner of Sands Beach Club a few miles north in Sea Bright, says that while the club, with its 350 lockers and cabanas, won't be ready for the 2013 season, members will still be able to enjoy the beach.

Chimento told Patch in January that he was "very upbeat about the future of Sands."

"The support from our members and many present and former employees  has been the most important element in my decision to rebuild," he said in an e-mail "I knew Sands was important to some people other than my family but until this happened never fully realized how deep that went."
