Good To Know

GREENHEAD SEASON

This is just a friendly heads up! Unfortunately Greenhead fly season runs from late June through September, but its peak is during the month of July. Which is just perfect for all of our summer vacations!

Greenhead fly bites can be a bit painful....and we've noticed the flies are the worst on really humid days with no breeze.

Some helpful tips on how to combat these annoying bugs:

1) Spray your beach umbrella or canopy and beach chairs with bug spray to help stave off a swarm of them.

2) Make sure to thoroughly dry once you are out of the saltwater and reapply your bug spray, they love the salt!

3) We have found that Repel Plant-base Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent keeps them at bay (for the most part), just make sure to respray and reapply throughout the day.

4.) Some local surf shops swear by Cactus Juice, you can find this on Amazon along with the Repel.

BRIGANTINE FARMER'S MARKET

The Brigantine Farmer's market is located in the parking lot of the Brigantine Community School (Sheridan Blvd Side). It's open starting Memorial Day weekend and runs every Saturday (rain or shine) until Labor Day week from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Make sure to find the Key Lime Pie Lady!!! Soooo good!!!
