History
Long Beach Island is an 18-mile barrier island on the Jersey Shore; the Barnegat Lighthouse at its northern tip dates to the mid-19th century and is a local landmark.
Conservation
Respect posted nesting areas and stay off dunes; using bus transport reduces per-person car traffic and parking strain on fragile coastal systems.
