LBI
7 towns · Eighteen miles of island, one causeway, no boardwalk.
LBI is eighteen miles of island reached by one causeway, running Barnegat Light to Holgate, with Manahawkin and Tuckerton holding the mainland end of the bridge. There is no boardwalk and one main road, and the island has guarded its slower pace for a century. The Barnegat Lighthouse, Old Barney to everyone here, holds down the north tip.
