- Long Beach Island (colloquially known as LBI or simply The Island) is a barrier island and summer colony along the Atlantic Ocean coast of Ocean County, New Jersey in the United States. Aligned north-south, the northern portion is generally slightly higher end, low-density residential; whereas the southern portion possesses more economical, higher-density housing and considerable commercial development. The primary industries include tourism, fishing, and real estate. The only access point to the island by land is the single bridge, The Causeway, from Manahawkin on the mainland to Ship Bottom on the island. Access is also by water transport. Among the most significant of landmarks on the island are Barnegat Lighthouse, located on the northern tip and the Holgate Unit of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge on the south end. As of the United States Census, 2000, a total of 8,556 people in six separate municipalities declared Long Beach Island home on a year-round basis. However, the population in these communities swells significantly in the summer months to approximately 100,000 with part-time residents and tourists. The island's close knit communities are largely affluent and contain many vacation homes for wealthy residents in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and suburban North and South Jersey.
- Datei:Long-beach-island-map-with-locales. png Long Beach Island (pink) im Ocean County von New Jersey Long Beach Island, von Einheimischen auch LBI genannt, ist eine vorgelagerte Insel an der Küste des Atlantiks und gehört zum Ocean County, New Jersey. Die Insel ist etwa 29 Kilometer lang und an ihrer breitesten Stelle 800 Meter breit. Die nördliche Hälfte der Insel ist nur gering entwickelt, während der südliche Teil dichter besiedelt ist. Die Bewohner der Insel leben überwiegend vom Tourismus und der Fischerei. Eine Brücke verbindet die Insel mit dem Festland. Zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten gehört das Barnegat Lighthouse an der nördlichen Spitze der Insel. Die Insel war bereits im 19. Jahrhundert ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel für Strandurlauber. Das Engleside Hotel in Beach Haven bot bereits ab den 1870er Jahren einer wohlhabenden Bevölkerungsschicht adäquate Unterkunft. Die gute Anbindung an New York City und Philadelphia ermöglichte aber auch ärmeren Bevölkerungsschichten hier einen Tag am Strand zu verbringen. Im Juli 1916 war die Insel jedoch von den Haiangriffen betroffen, die damals landesweit Aufmerksamkeit erregten.
