I have to say that for a small museum I was very impressed by the amount of information that this museum covers. It is really an interesting and amazing place for a small museum at the shore. There are rooms that cover shark attacks, luxury liner disasters, ship wrecks, shore erosion issues, Coast Guard information, local history dealing with the sea and shore and lots of artifacts from wrecks over the last three hundred years. I was impressed by the information on the 1916 Shark Attacks that inspired the movie "Jaws" and the disaster of many of the luxury liners even after what we learned from the Titanic ten years earlier. There are all sorts of eye witness accounts recorded and all sorts of artifacts. There is a lot of information on Maritime history of the Jersey Shore and a lot about the resort history of the area. There is a lot on the resorts of not just Beach Haven but the surrounding shore towns. Each room is packed with information and can be somewhat overwhelming unless you have a few hours to spend here like I did. I found myself leaving after over two hours. Do not miss this little gem of a museum that is well worth the visit and has free admission. They ask for a small donation which is fair. The people who work here are very friendly and welcoming and will answer any questions.

Drift up to 500 ft. above the bay and enjoy the breathtaking view of the beach and island. Our experienced crew will gently lift you off the platform of our 34 ft. parasail winchboat and you will fly over the bay under a huge parachute. If you wish to feel the warm bay water, our captain will gently dip you and then shoot you back skyward. Landing takes place on the platform of the boat and is as gentle as the take off. All ages are welcomed, so bring your family and friends to the most talked about ride on LBI! We are located at Bay Haven Marina in Beach Haven- about 5 miles south of the bridge, next door to the Buccaneer Hotel and across the boulevard from Spray Beach Deli.

Fantasy Island is a fun place to go for people of all ages. If you're looking for something to do with your family while vacationing at LBI, this will keep them happy for hours. It's not as large as a typical amusement park, but it is a decent size for still having a lot to offer, and the grounds are extremely clean. They have kiddie rides, as well as rides for pre-teens and teens...heck, I'm an adult, and my family and I still love to ride the Tilt-a-Whirl! You can try your skill at various game stands, and stop to enjoy ice cream. There is also an arcade with all the bells, lights and whistles, if that's your thing.

We visited this park last week and we all had a great time! What a fun day we had. We bought the 2 hour package and rented a locker, small so if you have a lot of items, more than one is recommended but reasonably priced. We ranged in age from 8-50 and there was plenty to do for everyone. There is a sitting area with beach chairs for you to hang out and read or just to catch your breath from all the excitement. There is a little kids area that looked so cute. Some of us even participated at Flow house which is the surf simulator. I didn't but my daughter loved it. Staff is great, very clean, food available as well. Perfect when you need a break from the beach. Would highly recommend it and it is fun for all ages
