Take Your Smart Phone to Shore and Get A Live Feed from Shore Cams
Shore Cams Don’t Leave Home for the Shore without It.
If you’re like everyone else the first thing I do before heading to the NJ Shore is pack my iPhone, and my wife brings her droid Smart phone. We also bring along our tablet for reading on the beach and bring our iPad to check out last minute deals for hotels, bed and breakfast deals and to book our favorite water sports and maybe rent a jet ski in Cape May.
We recently came across this new app ,Shore Cams that provides live feed cameras from the Jersey Shore to your iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
Shore Cams gives you the capability to view locations at the Jersey Shore in the palm of your hand. Shore Cams lets you check current weather, beaches, popular locations, tides, peace of mind, traffic, and the hustle and bustle of the shore in real time.
The app is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, and provides numerous live views, around Avalon, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle City, Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, and Atlantic City. Check out the waves on the ocean, the sunset over the bay, or even people walking on 96th street in Stone Harbor! You can Check the demo here at this link

2013 Eagles Calendar Shoot Down The Shore Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders Eco-Friendly Swimsuit Calendar
The 2013 edition of the renowned Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders Eco-Friendly Swimsuit Calendar will be photographed in New Jersey to support revitalization efforts of the shore after Hurricane Sandy. All net proceeds from the shoot will be donated to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, which is chaired by First Lady Mary Pat Christie and has raised over $32 million from more than 22,900 donors world-wide.
 |
| Eagles Shoot the 2013 Cheerleaders Eco Friendly Swimsuit Calendar |
"We are looking forward to helping contribute to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, which has been doing great work in providing relief through grants as well as action," said Christina Weiss Lurie, President Eagles Youth Partnership and Eagles Social Responsibility. "We also hope that our calendar shoot will help to illustrate the hard work that has already been accomplished in revitalizing the areas that were devastated by the disaster."
"We are thrilled that the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders have selected to photograph their 2013 calendar in New Jersey and donate proceeds to our Fund. Their generous efforts will help us continue to provide important relief funding for home rebuilding, mold remediation, social services and economic development to help get New Jersey back on its feet," said Mary Pat Christie, Chair of the Hurricane Sandy NJ Relief Fund. "Our Fund is here for New Jersey for the long-term and we want victims to know that they will not be forgotten. We’re excited to have the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleading squad as a strong partner in that effort."
The calendar will feature all of the cheerleaders modeling in numerous NJ shore cities. The images will showcase the beauty of the beaches and include many locations that make the Jersey Shore unique and memorable, whether it’s Lucy the Elephant in Margate, the Cape May Lighthouse, or Morey’s Piers in Wildwood. By also featuring areas that endured more devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, such as sites in Atlantic City, Ventnor, and Seaside Heights, the Eagles Cheerleaders will be able to shine a spotlight on the astounding recovery in those areas as well as help to spread the important message that establishments are open for business.
"Vacationing down the shore is a tradition that is passed on from generation to generation and creates a lifetime of wonderful memories,” said Barbara Zaun, Eagles Cheerleading Director. “Through this project we hope to show, in a creative way, the great resiliency and beauty of the shore communities that we all care about so much. We think fans will really enjoy seeing Eagles Cheerleaders alongside some of their favorite vacation spots in this calendar."
Many current Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders live, work, and have family in areas that were affected by Hurricane Sandy:
Third-year member Jamielee Panghulan expressed, "My father lived in a charming house located in Ventnor, right along the bay. Hurricane Sandy flooded the entire first floor and caused irreversible water damage to the property. It’s been very difficult for me to see my Dad having to move permanently from the home he loved."
Michelle Morris, a NJ native who works for an accounting firm in Somerville said, "I have co-workers that live in Toms River and Red Bank who still do not have a home. They have been in the arduous process of rebuilding since Hurricane Sandy hit last October."
Tiffany Monroe, an eight-year member of the squad, is a resident of Absecon, NJ and also works as a physical education teacher at Jordan Road School in the Somers Point School District. She added, "It was heartbreaking to see the vast damage from Hurricane Sandy in my own hometown but I am so proud that we all united, as neighbors, and were determined to rebound. I’m passionate about shooting our 2013 calendar right here in NJ and sharing with NFL fans worldwide why the Jersey Shore is such a special place."
About Congress Hall:
Congress Hall of Cape Resorts Group, America’s oldest seaside resort located in Cape May, NJ, will serve as the host resort of the calendar shoot. Congress Hall is located in the heart of the Victorian District on one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the area. In addition to modeling in the calendar, the cheerleaders will also be immersed in enjoying the full shore experience during the week of the shoot; including riding Ferris wheels, tasting Fralinger’s famous salt water taffy, building sandcastles, and even participating in the popular Clam-A-Rama, an annual clam pitching tournament being held on May 11th at The Beach Shack, also of Cape Resorts Group.

- May 17 – June 7, 2013 CAPE MAY STAGE: “How to Make a Rope Swing” by Shawn Fisher A World Premiere Production! Wednesday-Saturday 8PM | Sunday 3PM The South Jersey town of Oakbranch is replacing the old schoolhouse. Two local elders have been selected to decide on a person after whom the new building should be named. As they come together, they rediscover the circumstances of their first meeting- a time when the school was first integrated and the region earned its nickname, “The Mississippi of the North”. Within the brick walls of the century-old building, a long-suppressed moment in the town’s history surfaces and threatens to change the memory of the town and these people, forever.
