South Jersey seasonal changes signal the end of summer

Seasonal transitions in South Jersey are marked by several distinct indicators as summer concludes. Key signs include earlier sunsets, reduced traffic on the Parkway toward Cape May, and the end of the requirement for beach tags following Labor Day.

Other changes include the decreased availability of lifeguards at beaches, the need for warmer clothing in the evenings, and the sound of school buses replacing ice cream trucks. Additionally, shore towns experience easier parking, and boardwalk shops begin displaying 'See You Next Summer' signs.
