This is the place where Norah spent her summers working before making a splash as an ocean lifeguard! Just as her siblings had done before her, she and a crew of friends dove into the sweet experience of working at Country Kettle Fudge. With the most delicious handmade fudge—rivaling the legendary homemade fudge made by Johnny's grandmother, Joansie—and irresistible saltwater taffy, every summer became an adventure filled with sugary delights!
If you adore shopping and dream of embodying stylish beach bum vibes all year long, then Sur La Plage is the ultimate destination for you! This high-end boutique has a vibrant history, with Norah's best friend, Shane Kipple, working several summers there. Imagine the buzz of dressing room fashion shows and the thrill of paychecks sizzling away in this fine establishment!
The iconic Old Barney! LBI's gorgeous lighthouse, built back in 1859, proudly stands at the northern tip of our 18-mile island. One of Norah's favorite summer traditions was to take a bike ride to the lighthouse, tackling the 36-mile round trip on—you guessed it—beach cruisers. Johnny and Norah loved this adventure, stopping to explore all the charming spots along Long Beach Island as they made their way there.
