West Point Island: From a Sedge Island to the “Land of Health & Happiness”

December 23, 2021 By

$20.00

By Brian Bovasso:  Once a mosquito-infested marshland lying fifty-five feet west of the Lavallette mainland, West Point Island is now one of the most desirable locations on the Jersey Shore.  Marketing the island is a realtor’s delight.  You can own “your own piece of paradise”, in this “exclusive West Point Island Beach community”, enjoying “breathtaking views of Barnegat Bay”, in a “tranquil Bayfront setting”.  The purpose of the book is to describe the people and events that made West Point Island’s history so different from that of its neighboring sedge islands.
