Over 300 people celebrated Beach Haven’s 150th anniversary on Saturday, May 18 at the inaugural Heritage Day, an event that captured the past and present spirit of the Queen City.

SANDBAR FLIES: Hundreds flock to the Long Beach Island Museum for a day of celebration.

“Our vision is to have an annual celebration of the rich history of our borough,” said event organizer and Friends of Beach Haven board member Sally Poblete.

All proceeds from Heritage Day will go to Friends of Beach Haven, a newly formed nonprofit dedicated to improving Beach Haven’s existing parks.
