Things To Do
Long Beach Island
Long Beach Island or LBI is the quaint beach-town that the venue is located. Yes, it is an island connected to the mainland by bridges. It's a small family-friendly town with lots of mom and pop shops with great food and shopping
New York
Contrary to popular belief, NJ is not very close to NY but the ride is worth it to see all the iconic views. It's about a 3 hour drive from where the venue is located or a 2 hour train ride. I highly recommend taking the train to the city to avoid the summer traffic on the roads
Seaside Heights
Seaside Heights is a beach town that is about a 30 minute drive away. The boardwalk stretches 2 miles long and has copious different places to eat, rides and boardwalk games. The beach is very crowded during the summer but the boardwalk activities make it very fun
Atlantic City
Atlantic City is more than shows, drinking and gambling. There is boardwalk stretching for 5 miles with games, rides, and amazing food. Just a block away there are miles of outlet stores for all your shopping needs. The beach is also walking distance to get your Jersey tan on
The Chicken or the Egg
This is a local FAVORITE! This restaurant is open 24/7 and has some of the best quick bites on Long Beach Island!
Barnegat Lighthouse State Park
Climb the lighthouse known as Old Barney (217 steps!), take in an immersive exhibit on the lighthouse or roam the trails and look for some fantastic wildlife
Ship Bottom Brewery
Grab a pint and relax or enjoy some downtime at their Beer Garden. Ship Bottom is the town right next to Long Beach Island and it's a very cute, family-friendly beach town
Triton Craft Beer and Oyster Bar
Fresh oysters, clams and shrimp with an excellent selection of craft beers
Maruca's® Tomato Pies (Maruca’s® Pizza)
THE BEST PIZZA EVER! Hands down. Nothing else compares to Maruca's. Owned and operated by the Maruca's family for over 50 years, I'm proud to say that both my brother and I have worked here on the boardwalk growing up selling pizzas. We both went to high school with Maruca's sons, too. This pizza is worth the 30 minute drive to Seaside Heights boardwalk
Cape May Winery
Cape May is a small quaint town near the venue. There are a ton of wineries in this town and I highly recommend doing a day of wine tasting. This is a great spot to start out
Wawa
Wawa isn't just your average convenience store. It's a must go-to when in Jersey. They have the best subs (don't call them hoagies) that you can find. Just use the touch screen menu at the deli counter to order!
