I Remember Briny as a Magical Place
I can still hear the surf and smell the salt air at night.
Normally my family would just make the four-day drive south to Briny Breezes and then locate a “house” to rent for a few weeks.
I recall Dad and Mom hauling that old Yellowstone or Trotwood trailer from South Michigan down to Briny one year. All two lane of course, and the trek over Monteagle, TN was a real hoot. I do believe Dad sold it and left Briny for snow country sans trailer that spring.
Briny Breezes Badge Law
by Fred House
The badge law was started by a guy appointed head of security for Briny.
The Ocean Ridge police had a contract to patrol Briny and he often rode along. I don’t remember his name but they erected a statue of him by the drug store, after his death.
Ever meet someone given a bit of authority, and watched it go to his head… that was he. He promptly had a fancy uniform made, and strutted around like a pint size Mussolini. Since he’s been gone for thirty years or so I’m not speaking out of school. He started making all kinds of rules, most of which were ignored.
Beach Parties and Other Memories – Briny 1963
Briny Breezes 1963-1964 Beach Parties and Other Memories
by Fred House
The parties we held there on the beach, every weekend, were legendary.
The Grannis family, Lindy and Ellen, Don their father, actually they lived just north of Briny, Ken Varcoe and his mother Joyce. If anyone knows how to get in touch with Joyce let me know. Ken died many years ago.
Chellie Long (Varcoe) was my best friend for many years, I’ve lost track of her and hope Joyce knows where she is. Chellie had the house on the beach at the end of Bellaire Drove – now a State Park.
