2. Dover Beaches North
When Hurricane Sandy struck the Jersey Shore in October 2012, Ortley Beach, part of Dover Beaches North, was one of the hardest-hit places on the coast. The storm surge swept across the barrier island, destroying hundreds of houses and leaving sand piled in the streets. The community has been rebuilt, with new houses raised on stilts, but the memory of the storm is still fresh.
