LONG BEACH -- Not all the repairs are finished, not all the sand is replaced and not every nearby business has recovered.
But seven months after Superstorm Sandy devastated hundreds of miles of shoreline, most of New York and New Jersey beaches are officially open this Memorial Day weekend.
After a cleanup effort that cost tens of millions of dollars, visitors from the Rockaways to the Hamptons to Seaside Heights to Atlantic City will be able to enjoy miles of seashores that have been groomed and cleaned up by volunteers and work crews.
In some places, two-story-tall sand dunes have been washed away. In other places, miles-long stretches of boardwalk still need to be replaced. In still others, sunbathers may have to squeeze their towels a little closer on beaches shrunken in some places by half its normal size by the effects of erosion.
"People are going to rewrite the formula for the beach," says Andrew Field, co-owner of the popular Rockaway Taco restaurant near Queens' Rockaway Beach, a 7-mile stretch of sand off the Atlantic Ocean that was perhaps the city's hardest-hit beachfront. Repairs at Rockaway Beach have so far cost about $140 million.
"They're going to stand in front of the beach, look to the left and look to the right, and say, 'Where do we go?'" At Rockaway Beach, about half of the 5.5 miles of boardwalk was destroyed by the storm. The city plans on replacing the stretch of boardwalk. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will work all summer to restore 3.6 million cubic yards of sand in a stretch of beach where, at high tide, what last summer was prime real estate for sunbathing is now part of the ocean.
The work to restore a 100-foot-wide beach from the boardwalk will occur periodically throughout the summer, prompting partial beach closures in work areas.
"It'll totally be different," says Field, whose beachside concession stand won't open until July, though his main taco spot blocks from the beach opened this month despite severe damage from the late-October storm. "It's going to take time, but people are just looking for some normalcy."
Still, after spending more than $270 million in repair costs, all 14 miles of New York City's beaches will be open for the Memorial Day weekend, including Coney Island, Brighton and Manhattan Beaches in Brooklyn; Orchard Beach in the Bronx; Midland, Wolfe's Pond, Cedar Grove and South Beaches in Staten Island; and, of course, Rockaway Beach in Queens.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg had promised soon after the storm that the beaches would reopen by Memorial Day, and he trumpeted the accomplishment Sunday in his weekly radio address.

After Hurricane Sandy ravaged New York City's coastlines, city officials knew that any effort to rebuild the damaged beaches had to make sustainability a top priority. Rather than simply replacing what was destroyed, they had to make sure new structures on the shores were built to withstand the next Sandy-like storm.
Enter: Jim Garrison. In December, his Brooklyn-based firm, Garrison Architects, was contacted by the New York City Department of Design and Construction to build a collection of lifeguard and comfort stations for beaches in Staten Island, the Rockaways in Queens and Coney Island in Brooklyn. The new permanent structures are intended to replace those that were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.
Garrison Architects was awarded a $106 million contract to build at least 35 buildings on an ambitious deadline: 19 of the structures are expected to be open this Memorial Day weekend. [On the Ground: Hurricane Sandy in Images]
"There's still a lot to do, but it's great to finally see them in place," Garrison said. "I'm very critical of our work all the time I judge us according to the highest standards, but I think these are very good."
With only five months to construct the beach stations, Garrison and his colleagues came up with a design for so-called modular buildings, which are structures that are put together from prefabricated sections, or modules.
"We've been working on this process for quite a while," Garrison told LiveScience. "We wanted it to be highly industrialized, something capable of being built in a factory with all its components. It had to be a system that was prototypical and repeatable."
The steel-framed modular stations will sit on a series of pilings, elevating them above current storm-surge levels put forth by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and making them flood resistant. But Garrison also wanted the facilities to be energy efficient, equipped with solar panels to help generate electricity and hot water heating, skylights to capture natural sunlight and ventilation that takes advantage of wind coming off the water.
"It was our belief that they had to be extremely sustainable," Garrison said. "Our first idea was to design them in such a way that they were totally open structures, where the breeze could flow through and the sun could shine in. Our mantra is to use passive means to make buildings sustainable by absolutely maximizing the effectiveness of ventilation, control of the sun and insulation. Then, we add as little mechanical systems as possible."
The stations are 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall by 15 feet (4.6 m) wide, and extend up to 57 feet (17.4 m) in length. The structures are made of stainless steel to protect them from saltwater damage, and they are free of painted finishes features that will help them stand up to conditions along the shoreline.
"Buildings on the beach get sandblasted daily," Garrison explained. "And if there's a rainstorm, they get drenched with saltwater, so we have to be very careful with all of that."

Five stroke victims have shown small signs of recovery following pioneering stem cell therapy.
Prof Keith Muir, of Glasgow University, said the results were "not what we would have expected" from the group of patients who had previously shown no indications of their conditions improving.
The trial involved injecting stem cells directly into the damaged parts of the patients' brains, with the hope that they would turn into healthy tissue or "kick-start" the body's own repair processes.
Frank Marsh, 80, one of the nine patients taking part in the trial at Glasgow's Southern General Hospital, told the BBC he had seen improvements in the use of his left hand.
"I can grip certain things that I never gripped before, like the hand rail at the baths, with my left hand as well as my right," he said."It still feels fairly weak and it's still a wee bit difficult to co-ordinate but it's much better than it was."He added: "I'd like to get back to playing my piano."
His wife Claire said: "He had reached a plateau and wasn't really improving (after his stroke). But following the operation he is able to do things he couldn't do before, such as make coffee, dressing, and holding on to things."
The study involved patients who suffered strokes some time ago and had shown no signs of making any further spontaneous improvement.
Prof Muir said the results were "at the present time not what we would have expected in this group but far from being able to say whether it's something specifically related to the cells".
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We know that some of the cells will survive and potentially turn into relevant tissue. We also suspect that a large part of what we do is kick-starting repair processes that are already present in the body.
"So there's probably a mixture of things going on. Quite what it is that's happening in the patients, we won't know for some time to come."
