A Summer's Day At The St. Rita Hotel

  Ma Deitz may be dead and gone, but people still come to the St. Rita to relax. Nowadays, you can take an early bike ride down to the end of the Island or an afternoon's excursion to the famous Barnegat Light house.
  Planning your day is difficult because the options are so many and so tempting. For active hours there's tennis, bowling, golf, (miniature and championship), sailing, sports and swimming in the ocean or bay. You can walk down to the beach; two blocks away are two large courts. Take a stroll to downtown Beach Haven where there is a group of lovely shops. Next door to the Hotel is the Long Beach Island Museum, down the corner a pitch and putt course, or you could simply lounge on our vintage porch, the perfect vantage point for watching life flow past at its unhurried pace.
  Within a few blocks are several cocktail lounges, a public library, movie theater and summer theatre.
The day ends with yet another decision-where to dine. There are many restaurants within walking distance that are very good. Finally you may retire to the quiet of your room.
