NEW YEAR’S DAY HIKE
WOW, it was cold! People in the northeastern United States started off
the new year with low temperatures and incredibly cold wind chills. Island
Beach also experienced its share of the frigid weather. The temperature
at Interpretive Center on January 1, 2018 was nearly below freezing — and
that was INSIDE the building. Barnegat Bay was frozen all the way across.
Windswept snow blew across the beach and collected in drifts at the foot
of the dunes.
But the cold and wind did not stop 60 members of Friends of Island Beach
and visitors from participating in the annual New Year’s Day hike. Everyone
was well prepared for the weather with plenty of layers of clothing that left
little, if any, exposed skin. We left the Interpretive Center and headed out to
the beach on the self-guided nature trail. It was almost comfortably warm
in the well protected thicket area but conditions changed dramatically as
the trail broke out into the open dune area. With no protection from the
wind it was a challenge just to get to out on to the beach.
The cold conditions were almost forgotten when someone spotted a
snowy owl. Although there have been a number of these magnificent birds
in the park this winter, it is still a thrill to see one. Several professional
wildlife photographers were snapping pictures using expensive cameras
with powerful telephoto lenses. Even though our hikers kept a respectful
distance, everyone was able to observe the owl as it perched on the top of
a dune and occasionally took a bite of the rabbit it had captured earlier.
Friends of Island Beach encourages everyone to visit the park in the “off
season.” There are many things to see that the summer visitors can not
imagine. Snow on the beach is so white it almost makes the sand look
yellow. Ocean water freezes as it recedes from the high tide line filling
upturned shells and making it slippery near the water’s edge. Loons dive
for fish in the shallows close to the shore while long tail ducks and ring
billed gulls seek food a little farther out. If that is not enough to entice you (Excludes Tobacco Products & Ice)

to visit Island Beach in winter, you should also be aware that the price of
admission is reduced.
