Long Beach Island, often called LBI, is a narrow BARRIER ISLAND located off the coast of southern New Jersey. It stretches about 18 miles long and is only a half mile wide in most places, making it a notable barrier island on the East Coast. The island sits between the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Manahawkin Bay on the other, giving it a unique geography unlike most beach towns. A single CAUSEWAY — the Manahawkin Bay Bridge — connects the island to the mainland town of Manahawkin. LBI is part of Ocean County, New Jersey, and has been a beloved SHORE destination for generations of families. The island's long, narrow shape means that you're never far from the water no matter where you stand.
