Tiny towns and vacation havens graced by white, sandy beaches make up the picturesque expanse of Long Beach Island, an 18-mile long barrier island off the coast of New Jersey. Most communities claim only a few hundred residents, yet each one features unique points of interest. Like many Jersey Shore communities, Long Beach Island has grown in popularity as a year-round residential haven for those who appreciate premier recreational amenities, waterfront beauty, and a relaxed lifestyle.
