VENTNOR, New Jersey (WPVI) -- The long Labor Day holiday weekend is here.

It's the last hurrah of the summer season before we settle into another school year and welcome the cooler weather.

Beachgoers found plenty of sunshine as they marked the unofficial end to the summer season.

Families packed the beaches, soaking up the sun Friday.
