Default Jones Beach was one of my dad's favorites

The water was always so cold it was hard to get into at the beginning of the summer, but the waves for body surfing were great and we would spend hours in the water and come out with blue lips and chattering teeth. Remember, this was before air conditioning was commonplace and going to the beach was the only relief from the heat. Some of my best childhood memories!


Jones Beach was one of my dad's favorites, as well. He would take us there when we were very young. I forgot to mention it earlier. Thanks for sharing.
