By Simir Shah
The city runs a summer boathouse on the city beach that rents kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and boogie boards, and teaches youth and family surf, kayak and SUP lessons. Lifeguards staff the Linden, Holly and Ash towers daily from mid-June to mid-August and on weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Mobi mats reach the sand at every city entrance, and free beach wheelchairs are available at the towers during staffed weekend hours.
