Safety Zone Established for Toms River Fireworks Display

The Coast Guard has created a temporary safety zone in the Toms River near Beachwood, New Jersey, to protect people and boats during a fireworks display. The restricted area covers all navigable waters within 250 yards of the launch site at Mayo Park.

Why it matters: This action is purely for public safety during a specific event. It prevents vessels from drifting into the path of falling debris or unexploded fireworks. While it restricts access to a small portion of the river, it ensures that spectators on shore and boats nearby are not endangered by the display.

Who it affects

• Boat operators navigating the Toms River near Beachwood, NJ during the enforcement window.
