In addition to the Jazz Funeral, the Bethany Beach Patrol ended its daily guarding of the beach with a traditional “clap-out” by grateful beachgoers. Here, Beach Patrol members Chase and Forbes make their way to the lifeguard headquarters as Labor Day comes to a close.

Bethany Beach once again bids farewell to summer in its own quirky style, with a New Orleans “Jazz Funeral”-style procession on the Boardwalk on Labor Day. The procession included a casket containing the “remains” of Summer 2023, a dedicated group of musicians, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, not one but TWO Grim Reepers (one of whom decided to pay a very close visit to the Coastal Point videographer) and of course, a cast of “mourners.”

A little slo-mo…
