Beach days are still at least a few weeks off except for some occasional
unseasonably warm spells in March, but staying inside is becoming less of an
appealing option.
So what are some things to do as we wait for Mother Nature to push the last
of the cold out; making way for the next summer season? Of particular note is
the Belmar Saint Patrick's Day Parade because it is held so early in comparison
to the others - it's a biggie so don't miss it if you're in the area in early
March!
For general outdoor activities here are a few popular things to do that will
be appropriate for any of the spring months, even after the sand warms up and
the towels come out.

Jersey Spring Things
-
Continue
planning and planting your garden.
-
Grab
your hiking boots, mountain bike or walking shoes and head out to one of the
many trails before the summer crowds
arrive.
-
Read about the
Osprey, then hone your bird-watching skills by visiting the included
links to various related sites. Many of the sanctuaries have field trips for
beginners as well.
-
Pick
a town you haven't been to before and take an
exploratory drive to see new things.
-
Visit the Trailside
Museum in the Watchung Reservation in Union County.
-
Make
summer reservations if that trip includes a beach
town, or just browse the listings
online - but don't wait too long to confirm.
-
Explore
the Pinelands
now, so it won't take away from beach time later.
-
Take
a shopping trip to some of the factory
outlets and malls to pick
up all your summer supplies at a discount or if it's miserable out, just use
some of the Zestive shops right from home.
Or
just enjoy a stroll down the boardwalk and enjoy being outside.
