with Ventnor to the jetty at the mouth of the inlet. The district
is established explicity for water- and visitor-oriented recreational
and amusement uses and for the adaptive reuse, reconstruction or restoration
of piers located in the district. Its purpose is to preserve valuable
sandy beaches, to prevent their erosion, to maintain their pure natural
beauty, to reduce visual pollution and to secure their function as
public parks of both a passive and an active nature and to upgrade
existing piers in the district as viable environmental commercial,
cultural, recreational or traditional boardwalk elements.
