[Stone Harbor, NJ] – Mayor Judith Davies-Dunhour was pleased to announce the winner of the Borough’s 2025 Seasonal Beach Tag Design Contest at the Borough Council Meeting on November 18, 2024. Congratulations to Stone Harbor Elementary School student, Gabriella Sharpe!
Thirty-six creative and talented entries were submitted by 3rd and 4th grade students of Stone Harbor Elementary School, making the judging process incredibly difficult. A three-judge panel, comprised of members from The Stone Harbor Museum, The Women’s Civic Club of Stone Harbor, and the Stone Harbor Property Owners Association, carefully reviewed each submission.
After a few rounds of judging, Gabriella Sharpe’s design was chosen as the winner of this year’s contest! Sharpe, a talented 4th grade student from Stone Harbor Elementary School, will see her design featured on Stone Harbor’s 2025 Seasonal Beach Tag.
As a reward for her exceptional talent and creativity, Sharpe will receive four 2025 Seasonal Beach Tags and will have the exciting opportunity to serve as Junior Beach Patrol Captain for a day during the 2025 season.

Great Turnout for October 19th Beach Sweep
A great turnout on a perfect fall day marked the October 19 beach sweep organized by Clean Ocean Action.
Mother nature provided a cloudless, sunny day of low wind and mild temperatures, ideal weather for the Stone Harbor Property Association’s semi-annual event. This fall 43 participants across all age groups collected 50 cubic feet of trash and 100 gallons of recyclable material. As in the past a majority of the trash was collected from the beach access paths and in the dunes. Plastic dominates the type of trash recovered, particularly food wrappers/bags, beverage bottles and caps, and cigarette filters. Metal recovered is predominately from beverage cans. Higher amounts of trash continue to be found near beachfront constructions sites, not just construction material, but food-related trash presumably from contractors. In the vicinity of 90th street, 6 shotgun shells were recovered out of 13 overall. Dog waste bags were down considerably from past years with the exception of the 84-89th street vicinity.
A special thanks to Stone Harbor Public Works, The Wetlands Institute, and Stockton State University for helping SHPOA with this event.
