Beachside Bathing Beats Milford Surf in Warmer Waters
Milford shore crowds enjoyed a day of beach leisure under mild air while waves crashed and drew onlookers from verandas along Walnut Beach.

Simultaneously, Red Cross drives aimed to raise 12,000 with tag days planned on Labor Day as Laurel Beach hosts a croquet tournament with multiple classes and dozens of entrants.
