REAWAKENING MINERVA'S BY THE SEA!!!
Minerva's by the Sea was conceived as Emma's mission--to offer a luscious vacation , with a nurturing venue, and nourishing meals, to celebrate and thank people of modest means who do America's community work: teachers, and first-responders, and truck drivers and parents, small business owners and pediatricians and artists and story-tellers, nurses and military service people, and other community-minded people, like one of our teenage guests who cut off her long hair to donate to cancer survivors.
Covid, and all its associated medical, social, and economic confusion, forced us to close in 2020.
Now we are determined to rebuild and reopen "somewhere" in the low-keyed peacefulness of Barnegat Light! We are aiming to build a "covid-resistant" venue, with conscious attention to ventilation, air-handling, and other protective measures. Take a look at our story at
