“The quintessential Jersey Shore literary magazine…a lot like our coast: salty, unapologetic, and delicious.”
– Elaina Battista-Parsons, Author, Italian Bones in the Snow
History. Hijinks. Natural wonders. Roll down your windows, take a deep breath, and go for a whirlwind ride down the shore, from Keansburg to Cape May. Through scrub pines and salt marsh. Down moonlit beach roads and winding back bays haunted by good times, found friends, lost family – and one perfectly coiffed werewolf. Beach Badge No. 7 brings the true salty life to bear on the New Jersey Shore, for now is the summer of our discontent.
