Surf City, LBI

Category: Beaches (15 listings)

Situated about 4- 6 miles out from the mainland, Surf City is an 18-mile long Barrier Island that was happened upon by Captain Cornelius Jacobsen Mey in 1614. As Captain Mey sailed the Northern end of Surf City, he noted very rough tides through the northern inlet. He named the inlet “Barendegat”, which means “Inlet of the Breakers”. This name has since been Anglicized to “Barnegat”. Because of the length of the island and the lovely beaches, island has been called Long Beach for the last several hundred years.

LBI has the cleanest beaches and best places to eat. I love Panzone's on 22nd Street in SC.
