Long Beach Island is an eighteen-mile barrier island off the coast of Ocean County, a summer retreat for families from Philadelphia, North Jersey and New York who return to the same beach houses year after year. Its towns, from Barnegat Light in the north to Beach Haven in the south, are almost entirely residential, with low-rise homes, beach access at nearly every street, fishing docks and a handful of restaurants, mini golf courses and ice cream shops. Real estate, construction and seasonal hospitality drive the local economy.

The island connects to the mainland by a single causeway, and on summer Saturdays the approach roads can back up for miles as rentals turn over. Flying private into a small airport on the mainland a short drive from the causeway gets you to the beach without spending half the day on the Parkway, and makes it practical to come down for a long weekend rather than a whole week. Visitors spend days on the beach, fishing the inlet and bay, sailing and kayaking, then watch the sun set over Barnegat Bay.

Things to do in Long Beach Island

When to go. Summer is the main season, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when rental houses turn over on Saturdays and the beaches are guarded. September is often the best month, with warm water, empty beaches and the end-of-season surf fishing. Spring is quiet and cool. In fall, the long-running surf fishing classic draws anglers, while winter is very quiet, with many businesses closed until spring.
