Lower Township Council has renewed the license for the Sunset Beach Sportsmen’s Club over the objections of the state Department of Environmental Protection. According to the Press of Atlantic City, the club sits just off the beach in the gravel parking lot of the Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area, more than a thousand acres stretching from Sunset Boulevard to the Cape May Canal. Christopher Gillin-Schwartz, an attorney for the club, told the council most people did not know it was even there. The club has operated at the site since the 1950s, and according to Gillin-Schwartz, the township has renewed the liquor license each year without a problem since at least the 1970s, probably longer than that.
