Amazing rescue in Avalon by the Stone Harbor Beach Patrol! Yes, you read that correctly; SHBP was fully responsible for the rescue of 5 people (a father and 2 young daughters plus the good Samaritans who tried to assist) in Avalon on Monday Sep 27th at 79-80th street beach. If SHBP had not been stationed at 83rd street, the outcome would have been tragic. There is absolutely no way that rescue personnel notified because of a 911 call would have arrived on time. By the time they did arrive, SHBP had already pulled 2 people out and had reached the other 3 and were bringing them in. AmazingSHBP!
