The origin of the name Manahawkin was once thought to translate to “land of good corn”, but it has been debated that it actually means “land sloping into the water”. This is a relatively small community with a population of just over 2,500 people and is mostly a quiet suburban township. Historically, the area of Manahawkin also served as a sort of gateway to the resort communities of Long Beach Island. However, if you are headed to Atlantic City or driving almost two hours to NYC, check out some of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Manahawkin, New Jersey in case you’re route requires a rest stop.
