Why LBI for Easter?
Long Beach Island offers a peaceful, relaxed Easter weekend away from the crowds. The 18-mile barrier island has two community egg hunts - one in Long Beach Township (Brant Beach) and one in Beach Haven.
Spring is a beautiful time on LBI before the summer crowds arrive. The beaches are quiet, perfect for long walks, and the island's charming shops and restaurants are less hectic. It's ideal for families seeking a slower pace.
Beach badges aren't required until summer, so Easter weekend offers free beach access. The island's rental homes make it easy to have a true family getaway with space to spread out.
