The beaches in LBI hold a special place in our heart. While the beaches are beautiful throughout the island, some of our favorites are on 68th street in Brant Beach and Center Street in Beach Haven which offer public restrooms and plenty of parking.
Bay Village is a shopping center in the heart of Beach Haven. Some of our favorite spots are Bay Village Pizza and Country Kettle Chowda. If you have a sweet tooth - be sure to grab an elephant ear from Crust and Crumb Bakery, fudge from Country Kettle Fudge, and some throwback candies from the Candy Store at Schooner's Wharf. Other activities near Bay Village include Ship Bottom Brewery, Mini Golf at Settler's Mill Adventure Golf, and Fantasy Island Amusement Park.
For the best hangover breakfast or late night eats be sure to check out The Chicken or the Egg in Beach Haven. Try the "Ludacris" Wing Sauce if you dare! Other breakfast recommendations include Uncle Will's Pancake House, Dockside Diner, and The Bagel Shack.
Some of our favorite seafood can be found on the mainland at Mud City Crab Shack. They'll often have live music and if you text 609-713-0451 they will even provide transportation to and from free of charge. If you’re looking for something similar on the island, check out sister restaurants Black Whale and Parker’s Garage.
There a ton of bars scattered along the island. Favorites include Buckalews to catch a game, the Seashell for a tiki drink on the beach, Daddy O's for a rooftop cocktail, and Joe Pop's for some late-night live music.
