The First Annual Unofficial Point Pleasure Skimmer Survey and Other Stories of Cape May County, New Jersey
The Jersey shore is frequented by millions of tourists every year. For many people living in the great cities along the East Coast of America, the Jersey shore is their only vacation destination. They come for many reasons, the ocean, the glitz of the casino, and the glitter of the boardwalk. Some come to visit and never leave. The 1st Annual Unofficial Point Pleasure Skimmer Survey tells about a fictional seashore resort populated by colorful quirky locals. They may be the waiters or ticket takers you encounter as shadowy enablers of your vacation pleasures, but when the season's over and the tourists are gone, they live their own lives but oh, those lives!

Dennis Township
Dennis Township is more than a swampy, desolate locale tourists drive through to reach the beach at the Jersey Shore. It is actually eight unique communities, stretching from the Garden State Parkway to the east to Delaware Bay and Cumberland County to the west. Dennis is farmland and forests of oak and pine. Meadows teem with wildlife, all just minutes away from busy beaches. Dennis Township is also about people, many of whom trace their roots back to before the American Revolution. It has a population of determined individualists, mixed with just enough "new blood" to sustain a vibrant community. Geography and people invigorate the township's eight hamlets, including Dennisville, Belleplain, and South Seaville, which were formerly independent towns but are now more regarded as signposts along the traveler's way. People have lived there for generations and will be living there still long after the tourists have moved on. This books tells more than one story, but all of the stories equally make Dennis Township the special place it long has been.
Prohibition in Cape May County
With its proximity to Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore, Cape May County was a perfect location for lawbreakers during Prohibition. Rumrunners operating along the Atlantic Seaboard and Delaware Bay teamed up with backwoods bootleggers to make Cape May County a bustling center of the era's illegal liquor business. It seemed as if every house around Otten's Harbor in Wildwood was a speakeasy. Bill McCoy would sail from the Caribbean to Jersey with undiluted rum, gaining praise as the "real McCoy." When authorities eventually shut down Cape May's Rum Row, the production of Jersey Lightning just moved to the Pine Barrens. Local historian Raymond Rebmann reveals how Cape May County turned from a sleepy beach community to a smuggler's paradise in the 1920s.
