Long Beach Island is pretty big on ocean and bay pastimes. We have an entire lifestyle built on it. Everyone who lives on the Island, summers at our beach or has simply come to LBI a handful of times knows how special this barrier island is.

From the back bay to fishing grounds far offshore, summer sandbars and lakes in the Pine Barrens, there are watermen and women who are defining the Island life for themselves.
