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 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 find things you haven't discovered or be reminded of offerings
you may have forgotten. When using these resources, you'll find 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 "Old Barney" by artist Sheila Mickle Soyster.
Throughout our guides, you'll find many places to go and things to do. Our
Calendar 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 find 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.
Also inside is our Catalog of Books about the Jersey Shore (pages 56-67). Please be
sure to see our newest coffee table book, "To The Shore Once More, Volume III"
by Frank Finale (page 59), and don't miss our LBI coffee table art book, "Long Beach
Island Rhapsody" (on the opposite page). Visit our new Jersey Shore Books website
