Long Beach Island resides off the Jersey Shore, about a two hours away from Manhattan without traffic and a little bit of speeding. I'm a fan of heading down around 9PM. My boyfriend's parents have a house in Ship Bottom, on the bay side of the island, complete with boat, kayaks, hammocks, scrabble, chess, a ten minute walk to the beach, and a purposeful lack of electronics - no TV, no AC...The town of Ship Bottom is reined by Mom and Pop shops of every beachy variety (mini golf, ice cream, snack shacks), you won't be at a loss for daily or nightly activities - be it for a weekend or for a summer. Ship Bottom also touts the best bagels I've ever (ever) had - Bageleddies (18th Street and Long Beach Boulevard). You have to get them before 12, when they're warm.
How to Get There: Car
Est. Time to Get There: 2 Hours
