Long Beach Island is a barrier island and summer tourism spot along the Atlantic Ocean coast of Ocean County, New Jersey in the United States. It is about 18 miles (29 kilometers) long and half a mile wide at its widest point. The island has been continuously settled since 1690. As of the United States Census, 2000, a total of 8,556 people in six separate municipalities called Long Beach Island home on a year-round basis. The population in these communities swell significantly with part-time residents and tourists during the summer.
Known as LBI in New Jersey, the island's close knit communities are largely affluent and contain many vacation homes for wealthy New Yorkers, Philadelphians, Connecticut residents, and suburban New Jerseyites that they themselves either summer in or rent out. In the larger, south end cities of Beach Haven and Ship Bottom, year-round residents and businesses in operation are far more common. The island is also known as a base for many long-range recreational fishing and charter boats, whose trips can range from 10-100 miles from one of the island's three inlets (at Barnegat Bay, in the north, and Beach Haven and Little Egg Harbor in the south.)
The historic Barnegat Lighthouse is located in Barnegat Lighthouse State Park at the northern tip of the island along the Barnegat Inlet.
Long Beach Island is also famous for housing the original Ron Jon Surf Shop in Ship Bottom, as well as the landmark, Lucielle's Oh Fudge! Candies. Lucielle's has a giant salt water taffy out front, a candy which was first created in nearby Atlantic City.
Road access to Long Beach Island is available via Route 72, which crosses Manahawkin Bay via the Dorland J. Henderson Memorial Bridge, which is famous for its "String of Pearls", a row of lights mounted on the railings lining the entire bridge. The bridge is scheduled to be expanded and a new span will be added in a few years.
The island was rocked by storms in 1992, 1923, and most famously, in 1962, which almost destroyed the island. During the March 1962 storm, in the Harvey Cedars section of the island, a new Inlet was temporarily formed and several homes and shops floated away or were destroyed.
The island is divided by the Route 72 Causeway (erected after the 1962 storm). This new bridge replaced a low-level, two-lane automobile bridge that was formerly a railroad crossing. A somewhat infamous 1970's article in Philadelphia Magazine quipped that the "haves turn right and the have mores turn left." Nominally accurate, the "down island" community of Beach Haven features historic and elegant Victorian homes that have survived the many storms. The south end of the island contains significantly more commercial zoning, which generally decreases as you travel north.
The north end of the island includes the communities (north to south) of Barnegat Light, High Bar Harbor, Loveladies, Harvey Cedars, North Beach, and Surf City.
The community of Loveladies was mostly developed after the 1962 storm. The developers attracted a large number of psychiatrists and was referred to as "couch cove." Loveladies is home to the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences.
The movie Jaws is based on a the book Peter Benchley book of the same name, which is based on the Jersey Shore Shark Attacks of 1916, a real life series of shark attacks which began on Long Beach Island

Homeowners facing possible foreclosure are especially vulnerable to the various schemes employed by today's con artists. Don't fall prey to their promises. The best first step is to call your lender at once if you think you may miss your mortgage payment.
Here are some scams to watch out for:
"Sign the deed over to me, and I'll take care of the rest. It's all about acquiring control of your property in exchange for various promises. The "investor" may promise to make up back payments owed to your lender or to sell your home to pay back the mortgage. He or she may ask you to move out immediately, or may offer you a rental agreement so you can continue living in the home, or may even offer cash for your equity in the home.
Unfortunately, signing over your home's deed to a third party does not clear your obligation for the mortgage. Once the deed is signed over, the unscrupulous "investor" can start making money with the property--raise your rent payments to unaffordable levels, evict you, rent the property to someone else or set up a rent-to-own agreement that nets the "investor" a tidy amount of deposit money. Meanwhile, the con artist may not make your back payments or may skip town with whatever money was made from the property. You still owe the mortgage and your lender continues the foreclosure process against you.
"Just file for bankruptcy." Filing for bankruptcy typically only postpones the foreclosure rather than stopping it. However, bankruptcy could give you time to reorganize your finances and possibly save your home. If you decide to go this route, make sure you work with a reputable bankruptcy attorney and you understand the process and the likely outcomes, including the impact on your credit.
"We'll negotiate with your lender to stop foreclosure. Simply pay our one-time fee." You might pay $500, $1,000 or more for a bogus "service" that may not stop foreclosure or that you could have accomplished yourself--for free--with calls to your lender. There are, however, legitimate organizations out there that really can help: contact the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at (800) 569-4287 for a list of HUD-approved counseling agencies or search online at www.HUD.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm.
Community Supported Agriculture: Powerful Produce For most consumers, the only brush with truly fresh produce is when making a trip to the local farmer's market. Unless you're lucky enough to have both a patch of land suitable for a garden and the requisite green thumb, you're likely more used to the unpredictable world of supermarket produce. This predicament has spawned an innovative system that connects normal consumers with small family farms in your area. This increasingly popular strategy is known as "Community Supported Agriculture". What is Community Supported Agriculture? From the Fields to Your Front Door: How it Works Community Supported Agriculture consists of a community of individuals who pledge to financially support a farm operation in exchange for a share of the crop in return. The growers and consumers thus provide mutual support and share the risks and benefits of food production. Typically, a grower draws up a budget reflecting production costs for the upcoming growing season. This budget is then divided by the number of people for whom the farm will provide, which in turn determines the cost of the individual share (each share is usually designed to meet the needs of a family of four, although some CSA's differ). Members then sign up and purchase their shares (either in one lump sum or in installments throughout the growing season). In return, they receive shares in the farm's bounty throughout the growing season, as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production. Members also share in the risks of farming, including poor harvests due to unfavorable weather or pests. In most cases, each CSA member receives a weekly drop-off of one box of selected produce. Typically a wide variety of herbs and vegetables are included (particularly with farms that utilize integrated cropping and companion planting), and some farms may provide flowers, fruits, eggs, milk or meats. Share prices vary based on location, quantity and selection of food products, and length of the growing season. Many CSA farms practice organic farming techniques. Why Go Local? In addition to the increased connection between farmers and consumers, CSA's provide tangible benefits for farmer's and "shareholders" alike: For more information, visit http://www.localharvest.org/csa
A relatively new approach to agriculture, Community Supported Agriculture dates back 30 years ago to Japan. A group of women, worried about increasing food imports and dwindling local farms started a direct growing and purchasing agreement between themselves and farms in their area. The relationship was called "teikei" in Japanese, which translates to "putting the farmers' face on food." The idea made its way first to Europe and eventually to the United States. The term "Community Supported Agriculture" was coined in 1985 at Indian Line Farm in Massachusetts. Today there are over 2000 CSA farms throughout the United States and Canada.

Beyond WONDERFUL
Joanne and I know how lucky we are to have found you through your radio show. As our realtor, you so went beyond the "norm" for us in finding our new home (which we love). As you well realize, making the decision to move from a home we already loved was difficult at best, and I appreciate your patience with me specifically because I know at times I was difficult at best. You also kept Jo and I optimistic in a not-so-good market. Your professionalism, knowledge, sense of humor and compassion made everything come together for us and we will be forever grateful. Most important, when all was said and done, Jo and I had a new friendship for which (unlike a home), there is no sell price.
-ED & Joanne Romaine-Manahawkin,NJ

"In today's market a relationship with an experienced professional can make all the difference. Pattie is just that person. Here's our story...
Our house had been listed with another agent for 6 months, there were very few showings and no offers. We switched our listing over to Pattie, who quickly turned up the heat on our marketing strategy, gave us great advise on price (to ensure renewed interest in the property), and got us the offer we had been hoping for all along.
When purchasing our new home, Pattie impressed us again. Her web site is fun and helpful, she took us through as many houses as we wanted to see (and that was a lot) allowed us to explore what was available at different price points. When we'd made our decision, her knowledge of the property and the owner (since Pattie had sold the home to its current owner a few years prior) helped us greatly.
In short, weather you're buying or selling, you need a good realtor in this market and Pattie is the very best. She is experienced, hard working, professional and, - here is the clincher - very very fun to work with."
