Long Beach Island, New Jersey
Growing up as a kid, my family vacationed at the same place every summer, Long Beach Island. This place has become associated with a good time to escape with your family for me. Unlike any other place down the shore in Jersey, LBI is a very well known place for families with young kids to come vacation. LBI doesn't have a boardwalk like most places you would visit down the shore in Jersey, but it has so much more.
The island is only accessible by a bridege that leads you to make a choice, left or right. For many years i had stayed on both ends of the island but Ship Bottom was always my favorite. The beach is very well kept and there's always the perfect place in the sand waiting for you. Whether you enjoy boogie boarding, flying a kite or tanning under the sun, LBI is one of those places thats assures complete relaxation and definitely a stress free zone.
You might be asking, what is there for me to do here? It has become very popular for tourists to rent bikes, single or 5 person and bike down the island. Fantasy Island is one of the most popular attractions in LBI, many shopping stores, miniature golf and a water park conveniently next store are fun to check out.
Last summer i decided it would be fun for me and my brothers to try out jet skiing. We drove back over the bridge and jet skied around the whole North end of the Island. We rented the jet skis for an hour and cruised around racing each other, it really was a fun experience.
One fo the best parts about LBI is all the great food and ice cream that it holds. Jason's Pancake house is one of my favorite and i always walk away happy and full. Getting ice cream while my stay in LBI is one of my favorite things to do because it is absolutely delicious.
