The staff of Ocean County Scanner News is currently taking some much-needed time off as we begin our 9th year of service to the community. Plan on sporadic and/or limited posting during the interim. We look forward to serving the breaking news needs of Ocean County again real soon. Until then, you’ll have to read about events a week late with the APP.
Thanks & Be Well!
*Also, enjoy this sailboat sunset picture!
