Built around the Atlantic shoreline of Long Beach Island, Long Beach Township grew into a chain of shore communities between the ocean and Barnegat Bay. The township occupies much of this narrow New Jersey barrier island, where ocean beaches and bay waters shape daily life and seasonal travel. At its southern end, the Holgate Unit of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge protects beach and marsh habitat used by shorebirds. Boating, surf fishing and Jersey Shore traditions remain central to the area’s coastal character, while neighbourhoods such as Loveladies and Spray Beach reveal its residential side.
