Portion of the Sea Bright road from the foot of Rumson-Sea Bright to Highlands Bridge was cut off, due to washout and rock slides
The barriers at the foot of the Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge that closed off northern Ocean Avenue, from the bridge to Sandy Hook, for a few days have been taken down and the street is reopened. The NJ Department of Transportation has been working on a temporary and permanent fix for the state highway, Route 36, since Monday morning.

State Supreme Court appellate panel rules that the club must provide more public access to the beaches taxpayers pay to have replenished
The tide has turned once again in a familiar Sea Bright beach access fight. After a settlement in the courts in 2006 that called for a string of private beach clubs to open at least portions of their beachfronts, one club, Sea Bright Beach Club, refused and is now being forced, via a new state Supreme Court ruling, to stop limiting public access, a Star Ledger story reported. The ruling is based on the fact that since taxpayer-funded beach replenishment made the beaches at the club more extensive, then the taxpayers who foot the bill for it should be able to use those beaches.
