Does anyone know what is going on with
the Hands in Ship Bottom? I've been going down to LBI for the
past 42 years and Hands in Ship Bottom has always been there! My
Mom's friends used to own a house on 30th Street in Ship Bottom.
Now I vacation in Beach Haven Crest. Wouldn't go anywhere else on
earth and I can't WAIT until next year's vacation!!

Spent several months on LBI
this past summer. Loved the beaches. Some very good
restaurants (Bistro 14, Robertos, Green Gables, Plantation, Harvey
Cedars Clam Bar, Stefanos, Ravioli & More, Engleside). Fun
stores: Hands, Fish Heads, Coconuts, Earth Sea & Sky,
Tropics, Summer House. Met lots of nice people (even people from
NYC!) except for some arrogant, unfriendly, and unsophisticated
policechildren (too young & immature to be called men) who only
seemed to be interested in issuing tickets and rudely ordering people
around.

I grew up going to LBI and it
has always had a special place in my heart. All the wonderful
memories...clamming with Grandpa, walks on the beach, ghost stories
with Gramma and boogie-boarding with friends. Fell in love as a child
and now I am introducing this wonderful getaway with my own children.
Even though we live in Virginia, my heart is here "down the shore"

To have spent childhood
summers here really does make it much more special. Even w/o that
privelege, the island has everything you could want w/o riff raff like
other NJ shore resorts.

Times have changed and so have
the people. I miss the times when no one knew WHERE Long Beach Island
was. I've called Ship Bottom my "Little Piece of Paradise" for almost
38 years. Today it's full of "want to be's" that need to be flown in
from the Hamptons to make themselves feel important. I have one thing
to say to these people "GO HOME" !! I bet 9 out of 10 of them couldn't
even tell you they climbed the Lighthouse ! That is why I chose to wait
till the off season to visit the Island ... That's Long Beach Island
not LBI !!!

I am very sad that the summer
is over and it will be many months until I visit LBI again. Like every
year this one was great! I love being down at the water and shopping at
all the stores. However the
best part of being down at LBI this summer was when my boyfriend and
friends went swimming in the
ocean at night! It was such a fun time. So long LBI, hope to visit you
soon!

I love LBI! my grandpartens
bought their summer house/retirement home there in 1971. For over 30
years I have spent every summer at LBI. My grandparents just pasted
away and I miss them very much. But I will never forget them and
I'll never miss a summer at LBI as long as I live. I'm now 42. My
children look foward to our vacations on LBI.

nicer -- cleaner, more relaxed. I plan on coming down every year for
the rest of my natural life!!! :D

I grew up in NY and just moved
back East after being away 20 years. I smartened up and moved to New
Jersey. Last week I visited the Jersey Shore for the first time in my
life. We went to Point Pleasant. It was great. This weekend we're off
to LBI to visit some dear friends of ours from London (don't ask). I've
only heard good things about LBI and know we'll have a fantastic couple
of days. BTW, this is a really good website. I especially loved the
music!

Just returned from our first
trip to LBI..we stayed in Beach Haven and it was wonderful! Here
are a few recommendations of
places to go and not go...
TO GO:
Tuckers...didn't eat there but they had a nice bar w/ great drink
specials Sun. thru Thursday.
Howards...great food & great service...BYOB...no reservations but
it's worth the wait...try the crab cake appetizer.
Engleside...terrific food...probably the best around...great
sushi...great service...nice wine list.
Sea Shell...their beach bar is a perfect oasis after a few hours at the
beach. Lunch & dinner are both great however the
service, at times, has a little to be desired.
B&B Department Store...tons of really nice bathing suits for 1/2
price.
Silver Sun Mall...great LBI t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc...very
affordable. Also, you'll find one of the only places
in the area to get a manicure and pedicure. Great staff!
Chicken/Egg...feel like a snack? Great wings! Open 24 hours.
NOT TO GO:
Morrison's...this place was horrible...it's hard to believe they've
been in business for something like 40 years. They
obviously make their money from the 1st time suckers like us...I
guarantee they do not get any repeat customers! There
were 10 of us...every appetizer and every entree was wretched...and it
wasn't cheap! The only salvation is that it's right
on the water and it's BYOB.
Black Whale Boat Cruise to Atlantic City...the cruise itself is fine
however the 'live entertainment' makes you want to
throw yourself overboard! Also, it takes a little over 2 hours to
get there...and once you get there you need to take a
shuttle to get to the Boardwalk...by then it's almost time to turn
around a come home! Take the bus trip instead.
HAVE FUN IN LBI!

My family goes every year- my uncles own a
HUGE
house. (anyone seen it? it's on the end of delaware avenue, on the left
side, with the bay for a backyard. it looks kinda old on the outside
but
is soooo nice) anyway we alays rent our own house and i have to say the
best one is 117 east 17th avenue in beach haven. soooo close to the
beach
and really pretty. by the way someone said
something about the 36 hole golf course being closed for "three
custom homes". i don't know about the golf but i know there used to be
an amazing arcade near there that's now a custom home...:(. Places I
recommend
in beach haven: Silver Sun mall and jewelry store (closed on
saturdays),
Island Sun jewelry store, Just Bead It, Hand's, Meltdown ice cream on
delaware
avenue, The Sand Trap golf course, Country Kettle Fudge. (duh). Also on
the way off the island coming from beach haven, on the right side there
is a used book store that's the BEST- everything is way cheap. n e way,
gr8 site!

Port St. Lucie, fl USA - Friday, August 06, 2004 at 14:41:03 (MDT)
My family has been vacationing at LBI for
more
than 30 years now. One of the most appealing aspects of the Island that
I have found are the people. Business and homeowners alike were always
very pleasant and courteous. Today unfortunately, I found one
exception,
at the Hotel St. Rita. I was in a last minute situation where I needed
to be on LBI for one night this month. This resulted in my calling many
hotels on the Island looking for a room. I am fully aware of seasonal
hotel
policies that require two to four minimum night stays in the peak of
summer.
As expected, many hotels were full, and some others required several
nights.
What to do?? Upon a realtors suggestion, I called the Chamber of
Commerce
who gave me some suggestions of some other hotels or rooms that may
possibly
accomodate me. One suggestion was the Hotel St. Rita. upon receiving
the
number, I called immediately and spoke to a woman who was both honest
and
courteous, who told me that they have a two night minimum, and that I
could
call back in a week, closer to my requested night, and see if there
were
any cancellations or if they could accomodate me. She gave me her name
and the name of another contact to ask for in her absence. That
day
came today. I called the St. Rita and asked for the woman whom I spoke
with, who was not there, and then was speaking to the other contact she
had provided. I briefly tried to explain my situation, that I had
called
a week ago and upon the hotels suggestion, called back today to see if
a one night accomodation was possible. The reply I received was not
professional,
courteous or pleasant. This woman scolded me for even asking for such a
thing as a one night reservation in the middle of August and that she
would
never hold a reservation for just one night. I tried to explain that it
upon the prior suggestion of the hotel for me to call back. She
reiterated
her position, which shocked me and said, "I am the owner of the St.
Rita,
goodbye," and hung up the phone. Is this the way to treat
prospective
customers? I am only true to my word in saying that I was not insistent
nor combative but this woman was downright nasty. I left this
conversation
dumbfounded and angry. I am ready to complain to whoever will listen,
and
its possible that no one will. But I guarrantee, the Chamber of
Commerce,
the newspapers and any other medium I can use, will hear about this
rash
injustice done to a prospective customer. I am a white collar
professional
and I am fully aware of business policies. However, couldn't this woman
be as cordial as the other dozen or so hotels I called and kindly
reply?
This does not sound like a people oriented service
professional to me. Lastly, this "owner" may run a hotel, but with
all the money she'll pull in this summer, she couldn't buy a clue when
it comes to class or customer service. I apologize for the tone and
venting
session, but this is intolerable. By the way, a hotel DID
accomodate
me, but I followed up with this place because I wanted to stay there in
Beach Haven. Never again.
I guess the best of all things, even LBI have blemishes.

We've been coming to Long Beach
Island
for many years. My husband came as a child with his family to Ship
Bottom
as far back as 1961. It is truly my favorite vacation. We usually stay
in Beach Haven now, and are very happy that everything is so nearby. I
would love to retire there. Too bad we didn't think of buying a house
long
before this. We should be there around July 20 for a few weeks.

Just thinking about it puts a huge smile on my face. My boyfriends

Our family owned a house on LBI in the 50's
in
Harvey Cedars.Those were some of the best summers of my life! There was
hardly anyone else on the beach back then! It was sold late 60's (I
wish
it wasn't!).Our house was across the street from an artist named Mimi.
She painted portraits of my sister and I. Does anyone remember her or
does
her family still own a house on LBI? Please write me ~~ I still have
the
paintings. Elissa

I used to go to LBI for vacations. In fact I went 18 years in a row
for vacation. I live in California now and as much as the seashore is
beautiful,
it isn't LBI. LBI has a beauty all of it's own. It also has something
that
CA doesn't...fish off the beach within casting distance. Love you LBI.

Grew up in S. Jersey and went to LBI every summer for two weeks,
and
every other chance in between! Now that I live in GA and my parents are
in CA, there has been little reason to visit New Jersey. Two years ago
we got smart and decided to have family reunions on LBI. So, as I read
ll these entries and remember the gret times, I, too, am counting down
the days until our July visit. It truly doesn't seem like summer
without
a trip to the shore, even if you're 40 years old!! Thanks for the
memories...

I long time visitor since 1981, I couldn't imagine vacationing
anywhere
else during my summer vacation. I am now 25 yrs old now and love every
minute I am on the island. Yea, there might not be a board walk or all
the fast past motion, but thats what makes LBI what it is.. A place to
relax and spend time with family. I missed it so much over the winter,
a few friends and I had a girls weekend there last weekend (5/21-5/23)
and had a BLAST. Thanks for the fun... the bartenders at Kubels Too are
great.. Check it out sometime... I think its in Ship Bottom going
towards

LBI is great. I go down to Haven Beach every summer with my parents
and two brothers. My cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents also join
us. There are so many exciting things to do on our vacation. We go to
the
water slides, fantasy island and crabbing. But most of all, we're
swimming
at the beach. Thankyou very much!

I turn 40 this year. Except for 3 years, I
have
vacationed at LBI every
year
of my life. Most recently, my family and I have beenvacationing
in
the Spring and Fall to make it more affordable. This
year we are going for broke and renting a house in the summer
in Beach Haven for 2
weeks.
My wife, my two kids and I are so psyched. Like when I was kid,
we
have a countdown going. LBI in the summer! Yee Haa!

Though I have lived in Massachusetts for 25 years, NJ is still my
home
and there is nothing like LBI and the Jersey Shore. We spend our
summers
at Beach Haven. I remember a particular time sitting in traffic on the
bay bridge and this fellow (who was just flirting with my daughter of
course)
yelled, "Hey, you have THE CAPE in Massachusetts". We both yelled
back...."we're
Jersey girls." There is nothing like the Jersey Shore and LBI...I've
been
to the Cape, Martha's Vineyard, RI beaches, Old Orchard, Hilton Head,
Myrtle
Beach....there is no comparison.....When I tell friends I'm going on
vacation,
they know I'm going home to the Jersey shore. But I'll take the golf in
Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach any time!

Come on down to Ship Bottom on LBI. It is a great place for
kids.
They won't drive you crazy with all the sites, sounds, and money of a
boardwalk.
It is great family fun and you can enjoy fantasy island for the kids
only
when you want to. See my add for a great Ship Bottom rental.

so many memories at LBI!!! driving across the causeway and being
the
first one to see a seagull or Ron Jon's, minigolfing at night, getting
ice cream from the ice cream man, walking on the beach with my dads
lantern,
swimming in the ocean when it was getting dark, climbing on the
lifeguard
stand and pretending to be lifeguards, crabbing, and so many more
memories!
i met my best friend at LBI about 8 years ago (hi sara!) and to this
day
we are still best friends even though we live a few hours away from
each
other. LBI is so different from other beaches-it feels like a
real
home! I hope it always stays this way....lets all keep it clean
so
we can enjoy it forever!

I just recently took a ride down to
LBI
(3 wks ago) and of course it was pretty dead down there. But I will be
going back down in the summertime with family and friends. I have such

Resturant?
That was my favorite restuarant.

This summer will be my 40th season on LBI - Ship Bottom, to be
exact.
My first visit was one month before my first birthday, in 1964. I will
be 40 in August and plan to celebrate on LBI with my family. What was
an
annual tradition for my mom, dad, sister and myself for most of my life
will now hopefully be a family tradition for my husband, myself and our
two young sons. There is nothing like LBI- still clean, safe,
family-oriented
and close to home (NY), it is the BEST place to bring a young family
for
a great vacation.

My family would visit LBI every year from
1984-1999
while vacationing with our cousins who lived in Barnegat. I always
enjoyed
the island. Many fond memories.... I will never forget climbing
Barnegat
Lighthouse for the 1st time (one month after having gallbladder
surgery)
Recommendation: Don't ever try to do this after major surgery. It was
tough
but what a beautiful site when I reached the top!!!!! Also, being at
the
Barnegat end when a storm hit the island and then my first experience
driving
over the causeway back to Manahawkin. What a trip!!!! Talk about
holding
onto the steering wheel. My cousin still laughs about this. He was only
8 and he thought it was hilarious. Always bought tons of souvenirs to
bring
back to Pittsburgh from a place I thought was called Andy's (at
Barnegat
Lighthouse). I did not see it listed under the shops. Does it still
exist?
Many GREAT memories. I would recommend everyone to visit this island. I
have been all over the Carribean and nothing compares to the serenity
of
LBI. My cousins have since moved back to PA and I miss visiting the
island.
Hope to return someday to re-live those wonderful memories on your
BEAUTIFUL
ISLAND.

Very nice site. I am from Norwood, MA and was introduced to LBI by
my parents. We used to vacation in Beach Haven on the bayside at a
place
called McCaffery's Dock on West Street in the 60's into the mid 70's
(my
dad remembers going to Beach Haven in the 40's with his parents).
McCaffery's
Dock had a large white main house and there were 6 cabins that they
rented.
I have fond memories of the beaches, Hartmans Amusement Park, the Lucy
Evelyn, Bay Village, the Frosted Mug, etc. I have been back a few times
in the past 5 years and hope to vacation again this summer in Beach
Haven.
It is truly a magical place - those that grew up spending summers there
know exactly what I mean. I am now bringing my family (wife and two
boys)
to the place that I hold so many great memories of.

I am10 years old and I have been going to LBI
since I was in my moms stomach and I still go now. LBI is great if
anybody
has never been their they have to go. I have gone to Barnegat light,
Beach
Haven, North Beach and Harvey Cedars. The by far Best beaches are
Barnegat
light, Beach Haven and Harvey Cedars. If you have never been to LBI and
you are planing to go you should definently go to Fantasy Island
(amusment
park). It`s so much fun for kids and even adults. My dad and mom are 42
years old and they have been going since they were in there mothers
stomachs.
LBI is the greatest place on earth you should difinently go there.

Aaah, I just drove down to Beach Haven this evening (because I'm
addicted
to going there and I just wanted to drive around - if it was even a lil
bit warmer I would've walked up to the ocean), and you know what I saw?
The Beacon 36 hole golf course is GONE! It's been completely wiped out
and 3 "custom homes" are being built in its spot. I am shocked! And
upset,
I really liked that golf place. They just spent what had to be a lot of
money the past year or two making it nicer with concrete and better
holes
and stuff too.. wonder why they sold out..

Does anyone reading this remember partying and bon-fires at the end
of Susan Ave in Holgate during the late '70s and early 80's??
There
was a guy everyone called "King-Tut" who would dance around the fire.
There
was a girl who was totally into Genesis new album... ABACAB. We
used
to call here the party queen. I can remember some names... Leo
and
Maria were brother and
sister from Mahwah. Jim Kick went to
Passaic Valley High School. Kim Lewis was my soulmate (I still
think
about you from time to time Kim). Those were magical times.
Listening
to the Doors, drinking Genesee Cream Ale. There was a kid named
Sean
(I think). I think he was like 11 years old. He used to put away
a pint of Jack Daniels like it was water. If you remember any of
this send me an e-mail!
