CAPE MAY — As of July 22, all the city’s beaches were reopened to swimmers.
Rough surf and wave action caused city officials to pull all bathers from the ocean on July 21 at about 3:30 p.m.
A series of six injuries within a 40-minute period resulted in restricting beachgoers to sun bathing for the remainder of the day.
Two of the injuries required the individuals to be airlifted to AtlantiCare Trauma Center.
