To the north, Barnegat Lighthouse State Park offers more glorious white sand beaches. Come summer, you can climb the historic lighthouse for panoramic, sunlit views of the bay and island.

Long Island Beach is widely regarded as the jewel of the Jersey Shore. It attracts a loyal following who flock to its beaches during the balmy summer months. Temperatures regularly reach 85 degrees and higher, and the best Surf City vacation rentals can get snapped up months in advance. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall still see warm temperatures and sunny days, interspersed with the odd rain shower. For the widest choice of accommodation, visit in the cooler winter months when temperatures drop to 30 degrees, but snowfall is rare.
The island is perfect for exploring by bike or on the water. It is a haven for wildlife, with the white sandy beaches and dunes providing a tranquil habitat for sea and wading birds, and migrating songbirds. Barnegat Lighthouse State Park is a peaceful spot for watching the wildlife, ocean swimming, or shore fishing. Pack a picnic, relax on the warm sand, dance through the waves, or build a sandcastle. On the other side of the inlet, the Island Beach State Park is one of the last significant stretches of an ecosystem that once dominated this coastline.
