Help Keep the Beach Cam & Osprey Cam Live and Ad-Free
The Beach Cam and Pete McLain Osprey Cam have become some of the most beloved ways our community stays connected to Island Beach State Park. Keeping these live streams online, however, is also one of the Friends of IBSP’s largest annual expenses.
This year alone, technology and operating costs exceeded $7,500. We’re raising $10,000 to help cover essential equipment, maintenance, repairs, and network upgrades so these cameras can continue sharing the beauty of IBSP for years to come.
Your support also ensures these live streams remain completely ad-free, making them accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Every donation, no matter the size, helps keep this special window into Island Beach State Park open for our entire community.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
