TOMS RIVER, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Toms River residents want to protect their dunes, despite the town’s efforts to rebuild by stripping homeowners of part of their property.
As WCBS 880’s Jim Smith reported, Frank Pezucci said a private beach owned by the local homeowners’ association is the reason his family has been in Ortley Beach for decades.
“That’s why we purchased the home in the first place. If I didn’t want that I would have gone to Seaside Heights or Seaside Park or Lavallette,” he said.
