Northern Shore

Long Beach Island

Long Beach Island is long, measuring about 21 miles from north to south. It is very narrow though and in some places only a block seperates the ocean and bay. There is only one road on or off the island and that is Rt 72.

Pirates used to frequent this island, including Captain Kidd and Blackbeard. Barnegat Lighhouse resides at the north end of the island. Here you can also find some of the best surfing on the east coast.

Southern Shore

Barnegat Penisula

Barnegat Penisula includes the area between the Manasquan Inlet and the Barnegat Inlet. Although technically an island now - it was a penisula before the Manasquan Inlet was made to allow fishing boats in and out.

The three key tourist areas are Pt Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights and Island Beach State Park. New Jersey Transit's North Coastal line stops at Pt Pleasant and Bayhead and goes onto Newark and New York.
