What to do in LBI
In Town for a few days? here are our suggest to-do around town!
Food & Drink
Buckalews
101 N Bay Ave
Beach Haven, NJ 08008
This fine sea-faring establishment is where the bride & groom to-be would love to meet you for a welcome drink on Friday evening (if you are in town!) Bucklews has all the rustic charm of Long Beach Island’s sea-faring folk: ship paraphernalia, plant life, old wood, a menu with everything on it, & live music! Better yet, it’s only 3 blocks from the Engleside Inn!
Nardi’s
11801 Long Beach Blvd
Long Beach Twp., NJ 08008
Did someone say party? (Oh, that was us!) Nardis has the perfect bar atmosphere to keep the party going. Here you can fulfill all your late-night pizza, french fry, and chicken wing cravings, as well as keep the groove alive with live music. Nardi’s also has a pink school bus that drives you home safe & sound after a night at the bar for free! Join us here forthe after-party post-reception to keep dancing.
Delaware Avenue Oyster HOUse
13211 Long Beach Blvd,
Beach Haven, NJ 08008
This oyster house is our absolute favorite! It’s a cozy little shack serving up 12 new types fresh oysters daily! They also have an amazing beer list on tap of local brews. If you find yourself in need of a quick snack and a great brew, this is your place. Sitting at the bar there is always a treat because you cansee the master shuckers at work!
Fred’s Diner LBI
305 N Bay Ave
Beach Haven, NJ 08008
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and why come to Jersey if you’re not having breakfast at a diner?! Fred’s Diner is a retro slice of heaven, that reminds us things sometimes get better with age, and some things should never change. Fred seriously has any breakfast item you could dream of on his menu, so give it a try!
Things to Do
Fantasy Island
320 7th St
Beach Haven, NJ 08008
Too cold for the beach? Why not let the kid in you out? Shake a few dusty quarters out of your pockets, and head to this old 50’s-casino-like arcade! You will most-likely find Gary here before the ceremony.
Ron Jon Surf Shop
801 Central Ave
Ship Bottom, NJ 08008
Is it colder than expected? Need a tubular sweatshirt, long-sleeve tee, or tank? Or what about a branded beer coozie? It wouldn’t be a trip to LBI without stopping by Ron John Surf Shop “The Original”. Just ask Alex or Ashley to sing their made-up commercial jingle for Ron Jon!
Barnegat Lighthouse
208 Broadway
Barnegat Light, NJ 08006
Check out the beautiful, iconic LBI Barnegate Lighthouse, “Old Barney”, in Barnegate State Park. The lighthouse has been standing since 1859, and you can still climb inside & walk up! There is a museum that was formerly a one room schoolhouse that has many items on display including the original lens from the Lighthouse.
