Long Beach Island, New Jersey Restaurants
Long Beach Island, New Jersey, is an eighteen-mile long barrier island on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Home to Barnegat Lighthouse, the island is only a quarter-mile wide, so if you can't decide between surfing the Atlantic or crabbing in the bay, it's easy to do both. Afterward, enjoy a meal at one of the island's many family owned restaurants.
