ne of the summertime perks of living in
Philadelphia is that during the hot vaca-
tion months, we can easily take day and
weekend trips to New Jersey for one of
the best things the state has to offer: the
sand and the ocean.

Don’t be mistaken, though — we don’t “go to
the beach.” We go down the shore.

And seniors find ways to spend their time un-
der the boardwalk as much as anyone.

Many times, people will seek out second
homes in the beachier parts of the state — Mar-
gate, Avalon, Cape May, the list goes on. And as
June inches closer, so too does the appeal of walk-
ing on the boardwalk, enjoying the cool ocean
breeze, indulging in an overflowing tub of John-
son’s caramel popcorn or salt water taffy or some
Polish water ice. … Is anyone else hungry?
For senior adults, this time could be a perfect
one to spend on the beach with grandchildren
or gamble in Atlantic City.

Even if gambling isn’t your scene,
there are plenty of other ways to enjoy
the warm weather.
