Beach Haven 2011

LBI's family-oriented south-end town

Located at Long Beach Island’s south end, Beach Haven is a family-oriented, tourist-friendly town that’s hopping all summer. It’s got a more dense collection of shops and restaurants than much of the rest of LBI as well as big attractions like the Fantasy Island arcade and a Thundering Surf Water Park, making it a popular vacation and day-trip destination. The borough stretches from 12th Street on the north end to Nelson Avenue on the south end.
