About Long Beach Island
Long Beach Island, or LBI, is a beloved 18-mile barrier island off the coast of southern New Jersey, known for its family-friendly beaches, laid-back charm, and small-town feel. It’s a perfect summer escape for anyone seeking a quieter alternative to the busy boardwalk towns. LBI is made up of several quaint communities like Beach Haven, Surf City, and Barnegat Light — each offering its own unique vibe, from historic lighthouses to lively surf spots. The beaches here are clean and relaxing, with both oceanfront and bayfront views. Unlike other Jersey Shore towns, LBI has no towering hotels or crowded nightlife. Instead, it offers peaceful neighborhoods, scenic bike paths, and incredible sunsets over the bay. It’s ideal for family vacations, romantic weekends, or group getaways. Popular activities include kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and climbing to the top of Barnegat Lighthouse. With its charming local shops, seafood restaurants, and weekly summer events, Long Beach Island is a Jersey Shore gem.
