It has been called the Mid-Atlantic’s largest gay and lesbian beach party, and it is moving to a larger venue. After more than a decade at Asbury Park, Sand Blast has outgrown the small gay-friendly Northern New Jersey beach town and is making a move south to Atlantic City, July 18 to 20.  Last year’s event drew an estimated 4,000 participants, and organizers expect that number to increase significantly with Atlantic City as its host city.  A series of dance parties are planned with some of the circuit’s top DJs including Pornstar, Nando, Joe Gauthreaux and Ed Bailey.
