Harvey Cedars is one of the quieter, more upscale communities on Long Beach Island, known for its beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets, and peaceful atmosphere. Located in the northern half of LBI, it's a favorite among families seeking a low-key beach vacation.
The town is narrow at this point on the island, meaning sunset views over Barnegat Bay are spectacular from the beach. Harvey Cedars has minimal commercial development—just a few restaurants and shops—which is exactly what residents and repeat visitors prefer.
The beaches here are excellent, with fewer crowds than the more popular LBI towns. The Harvey Cedars Bible Conference, founded in 1905, gives the town a family-oriented, wholesome character that has remained constant over the decades.
