OCEAN CITY, New Jersey (WPVI) — Affectionately known as Ocean City’s ‘Number One Beach Bum,’ 90-year-old Earl Paul has counted more than 10,000 visits to the beach.
Paul and his wife, Catherine, had moved to Ocean City in the 1990s following his four-decade career as a pipe fitter. Unfortunately, Catherine passed away just a couple years later.
Paul visited the beach to find healing. After some time, he became determined to visit each and every day possible.
Nearly three decades later, Paul has counted more than 10,000 days on the beach. He says it’s easy to make the trip, only being a short walk from his home in Ocean City.
And he has no plans to stop visiting.
