In all truth, there is no comparison to the annual Miss Crustacean Hermit-Crab Beauty Contest in Ocean City, N.J., slated for Aug. 5 this year.
However, other beach towns do have their signature events, including:
_ New Jersey Sandcastle Championships, Wednesday in Belmar;
_ 31st Annual Sandcastle Contest, Aug. 1 in Rehoboth Beach, Del.;
_ White Marlin Open, the big-money ($1.5 million in prizes last year) fishing tournament, Aug. 3-7 in Ocean City, Md.;
_ Crabcakes Festival and Shore Chef Cookoff, Aug. 22-23 at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J. *
