About

Jon Coen lives on Long Beach Island, in the great state of New Jersey.… like, year round.

Winters can be a little rough, long stretches of frozen desolation. But then there are those surreal days of soft snowfall and empty waves. Summers are a hectic time when the Island swells to full capacity and every day is a challenge of capitalizing on the season, telling the stories of the Island and enjoying the season.

Of course, in between those are the blissful days when the garden is exploding and someone drops off fresh striped bass, chasing snowy barrels in the winter or blue claw crabs with the kids in the summer.

He love to travel – the Outer Banks to Polynesia, the Rockies, cool little hotels and van camping, it’s all part of the experience. But he always look forward to coming home.
