"This is a photo my father sent back to his wife and children back in Portugal shortly after arriving in the U.S. He is aboard the Connie F, a wooden boat owned by his brother Joseph, accompanied by the husband of his youngest sister, Gloria. The owner of the boat sponsored all but one of his siblings into the country and all men worked on the Connie F for different periods of time even when none of them had been fishermen in Portugal. Location: Pier 3."

Shark River Bay Aerial
The new steps are just off the top edge of the photo, past the tennis courts.

20 ft max, 15 ft in most places

This dive site, formerly known as 'L Street' has changed completely, and for the better. The town of Belmar has done something really nice for us divers and installed wide wooden steps down the bulkhead in Maclearie Park. This more than makes up for the loss of the boat ramp area, which is off-limits to all swimmers since it was rebuilt. I suppose the little cove by the ramp is still accessible from the beach, but the new site is much better, and far from all the dangerous boat traffic around the ramp and marina.
