ISLAND BEACH STATE PARK, NJ – 2020 is turning out to be some kind of year.  First COVID-19, then murder hornets, sharks attacking dolphins on LBI, now we have a stingray attack at the Jersey Shore.

Stingray attacks are rare, but can often be fatal because the animal has venomous tail spines and stingers.
