Officials say this time of year can be challenging when it comes to the beaches.
"We've had various tropical storms running near our region and there's more developing. And we have a heat wave coming up. So there's going to be a lot of people who would look to go to the ocean to cool off. Less lifeguards on duty, schools are starting," said Handley.
"Regardless of where you're swimming or enjoying the beach anywhere, you should swim in front of a lifeguard. If you're going to go in the water it should be a protected beach," said Upper Township Mayor Jay Newman.
