Ocean Grove is an extremely dog-friendly town, but the Township and the CMA cannot find it in their hearts to provide a dog park or an after (or before) hours dog beach. Such places are as much for the owners as they are for the animals. It’s a quality of life issue.

Want to smoke on the OG beach? Well, you cannot; read the sign. Oh, you can smoke on the Boardwalk. Blogfinger photo.
The NJ Governor just signed a law forbidding smoking on public beaches. The price of a ticket is $250.00.
OGCMA banned smoking on our beaches some time ago, but would the OG beach be considered a “public beach” making such OG puffers eligible for that fine? And what about those vapor puffers?
And is it OK to smoke in Auditorium Square Park? There’s a big fire risk building over there.
