Near 69th Street in Avalon, Kathy Fromuth watched as her grandkids and family friends played together in the sand. Fromuth said the beach is one of the main gems in South Jersey.

"I'm from a landlocked state," she said. "We don't have that at home."

However, a beach replenishment project scheduled for this year in Avalon and nearby Stone Harbor, as well as another project at the north end of Ocean City, are currently on hold because federal funding isn't available.
