Long Beach Township
Few places on New Jersey’s coast have a history as closely tied to Barnegat Bay’s maritime economy as Long Beach Township. Incorporated in 1899, the township occupies much of Long Beach Island, a narrow barrier island between Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Its bayfront is shaped by marinas, docks and low-rise shore communities, while the ocean side is defined by sandy beaches and dunes. Fishing, shellfishing and boating have long been part of local life, and the sheltered bay remains central to recreation. Long Beach Island’s resort tradition developed alongside these working-water connections, giving its neighborhoods a distinctly maritime character.

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.

New Jersey stretches from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean, encompassing coastal lowlands, Pine Barrens woodland, and densely settled northern corridors. The Atlantic shore is known as the Jersey Shore, while the Delaware Water Gap cuts between the river and Appalachian ridges in the northwest. Trenton, the state capital, was the scene of a pivotal American Revolutionary War victory in 1776. Atlantic City’s Boardwalk, opened in 1870, remains a landmark of the state’s long seaside-entertainment tradition.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
