Watch: Nor’Easter Leaves Sea Wall Exposed, Beaches Battered

A nor’easter over the early part of the weekend gave way to sunny skies Sunday, but not before churning up enough rough surf to expose the sea wall in Brick Township and bruise the shoreline of places like Ortley Beach.

In Ortley Beach, where a lack of dunes has worried residents for years, the ocean came dangerously close to a berm but did not breach it. And new protective structures build in front of the beach entrances prevented them from being damaged.
