OCEAN CITY, N.J. - If the Labor Day weekend boardwalk crowd has been any indication, the summer of 2020 is ending on a high note despite the coronavirus pandemic.Businesses who rely on tourism are beginning to take stock of an unprecedented season.Wendy Barth has owned a swimwear shop in Ocean City for more than 30 years.
After being shut down for more than two months, she tells FOX 29 she's pleasantly surprised summer wasn't a disaster.“People wanted to shop.
They wanted to get out of their houses. People wanted to travel and couldn’t go far. So I feel like we’ve had a very strong summer once we got opened,” Barth said.Off the boardwalk, over at Spadafora's Clam Bar and Restaurant, it was also a slow start to the summer.
