welcome!
Welcome to the New Jersey Shore, and thank you for reading LONG BEACH
ISLAND Vacation Guidebook & Map, the summertime guide to sun and fun on
Long Beach Island and in Southern Ocean County.
Our Our publication and website are designed to bring you a wealth of information
to make your life more enjoyable "down the Shore." If you're a long-time visitor or a
local resident, you may fi nd things you haven't discovered or be reminded of offerings
you may have forgotten. When using these resources, you'll fi nd a myriad of informa-
tion to make your time at the Shore more rewarding and exciting.
On our cover and throughout our pages, we are proud to present paintings and
photographs by the Shore's most talented artists and photographers. This summer's
cover features the painting "Blue Claw Crabs" by Linda Ramsay of High Bar Harbor,
Long Beach Island.
Throughout our guides, you'll fi nd many places to go and things to do. Our Cal-
endar of Events and Theater and Concert Events sections will guide you through the
cultural happenings of the summer season. Our guides include Area Information,
Attractions and Activities, Parks and Recreation Areas, Historic Sites and Museums,
Lighthouses, Public Golf Courses, Farmers' Markets, and more.
You'll also fi nd guides to Accommodations, Stores and Shops, Real Estate, and our
Dining Out and Food section—one of the best sources available for restaurants and
nightlife on LBI and in Southern Ocean County.
