Long Beach Island (LBI) is a barrier island where the sea is never too far away. Even at its widest point at about a half-mile wide (800 m), the shoreline is always in sight either way you look. Summer may have come and gone, but in the LBI, the beach is accessible all year long. If you don’t feel like swimming, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the seaside. Long Beach is a paradise not only for beach bums but also for bikers, kayakers, surfers, and kite flyers. If you have a knack for crabbing, then get a guide, rent a boat and head out to estuaries and salt ponds where blue crabs abound. But first, you’d better secure comfortable accommodation such as beach houses. Read on this list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Long Beach Island, New Jersey.
