In the 80's, North End used to be a best-kept secret. They ruined it in the 90's when they attempted to extend the beaches out past the jetties. I have no idea how many thousands of tons of sand they transported in and dumped, but it wrecked the breaks. I go back 4 to 5 times a year and everytime I do, if they're knee high in LB, it's waist to chest in Belmar. It amazes me how much size can be lost/gained over 15 miles when the beaches face the same exact direction.
