SEEKING:
Looking for someone who enjoys long walks through dunes, dramatic skyline views, and pretending we definitely spotted a seal before everyone else.
Must understand that random pauses for wildlife observation are non-negotiable.
MISSED CONNECTION:
You were standing near the bay staring at Manhattan.
I was also staring at Manhattan.
We nodded at each other in mutual appreciation of the weirdness of sitting on a beach while looking at skyscrapers.
Then a bird distracted me.
If that was you…
perhaps the skyline brought us together for a reason.
SEEKING:
Seeking lighthouse companion.
Requirements include:
• appreciation for history
• willingness to climb stairs
• ability to say:
“Wow…”
at the top without irony
ACTIVITY PARTNER WANTED:
Need someone for competitive wildlife spotting.
Current categories include:
• foxes
• seals
• birds
• things that may have only been suspicious branches
Winner receives bragging rights.
MISSED CONNECTION:
You whispered:
“Look…seal…”
I looked.
Everyone looked.
I never actually saw the seal.
But I trusted you completely.
Call me.
IT’S COMPLICATED:
Current relationship status:
Emotionally involved with Sandy Hook sunsets and dramatic weather.
Trying not to move too fast.
Not succeeding.
Looking for my partner in crime (and entry fees)
I love the beach, but I love beating the entrance fee even more. If your idea of a perfect date is arriving at the Gateway National Recreation Area by 7:00 AM, avoiding crowds, and setting up camp before the park rangers even wake up, let’s go halves on a season pass and make it official.
Will steal your sweater and find your shell-glass
I prefer the gentle ripples and tidal pools of the bayside over those aggressive ocean waves. Let’s meet up, grab an iced coffee, and search for sea glass along the shore. Bonus points if you can actually tell the difference between a horseshoe crab shell and a piece of historic bunker debris.
Shift into gear with me on the MUP.
Looking for someone to keep up with me on the Multi-Use Path. If you don’t mind dodging the occasional coastal headwind and sharing a scenic view of the NYC skyline from a distance, I’ve got two bikes and a serious need for a Sandy Hook sunset cruise.
Looking for a timeless love story
They say the Sandy Hook Lighthouse has been guiding ships safely to port since 1764, but I’m still just navigating the dating apps. Let’s do a socially-distanced stroll around Fort Hancock, pretend we are 19th-century residents, and see if there’s a spark.
Ready to spot foxes and share snacks.
I’m seeking a fellow beach bum who is totally unbothered when the local red foxes inevitably try to steal our lunch. Let’s pack a cooler, sit somewhere secluded on the North Beach, and talk about migrating birds.
