Murphy opens Jersey Shore for Memorial Day, with social distancing restrictions — In this Wednesday, July 23, 2014 photograph people relax and play in the ocean in Atlantic City, N.J. Good weather and greater awareness that the Jersey shore has made huge strides in recovering from Superstorm Sandy helped make the second summer after the storm better than the first one, many shore merchants and elected officials say. Some business owners report profits up 20 to 30 percent in the summer of 2014 compared with 2013, when the shore was still in the early stages of recovering from the devastating Oct. 29, 2012, storm.
