⚓ this week on LBI: 10/16/25

Mornin’!

Hoping everyone on the island made it through the nor’easter earlier this week without too much damage to your homes or businesses 🤞.

On the bright side, rainy and windy weather have been clearing out for some sunshine and mild weather this weekend. Plus plenty of fall activities on the agenda!

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
