Travel

On the northern tip of Long Beach Island, this park includes a maritime forest, lighthouse, and access to great birding and fishing sites.

Barnegat Lighthouse State Park

The gem of the Queen City, also known as Beach Haven, lies in the heart of the downtown strip. Bay Village has been a travelers destination for 50 years on Long Beach Island. The Maschal family has created or re-created a 19th century waterfront village into a mecca of shopping, browsing eating and relishing in all things that are quintessential summertime activities. Shops include: Breezin Up, The Parlor, Song of the Sea, Indian Summer, Crust & Crumb Bakery, Cool Beans, Country Kettle Chowda & Fudge, Beached, Surf Shack South, The Windmill Waffles & Ice Cream, Bistro 14, Bay Village Pizza, Spice It Up, Zinnia Jewelry, Raquels Closet & More

Bay Village

Daddy O restaurant in LBI boosts a chic, modern and comfortable interior located only one block from the beach in a vintage seashore styled boutique hotel. The Restaurant menu offers American comfort food with modern creative twists in the dining rooms and outdoor garden patio.
