Long Beach Island (Images of America)

December 23, 2021 By

$22.00

By George C. Hartnett & Kevin Hughes:  Long Beach Island stretches for eighteen miles alongside the southern New Jersey mainland.  A barrier island, it has a vivid history that includes wild game and bountiful fish, early whalers and tragic shipwrecks, paddle-wheel steamboats and grand hotels.  With its rare and previously unpublished images, Long Beach Island portrays the unforgettable place that today is known for its white sandy beaches, fresh seafood, and bright red and white lighthouse.  Shown are islanders engaged in pound fishing and salt hay harvesting, and, later, visitors crossing Barnegat Bay to the island resorts called Barnegat City and Beach Haven.
