Surf City on LBI NJ is located roughly in the middle of Long Beach Island between North Beach to the north and Ship Bottom to the south. The area used to be known as “Great Swap” during the 19th Century for the large areas of natural vegetation surrounding a fresh water lake. When a strong hurricane flooded the fresh water lake with sea water, the original name lost most of its meaning. Today, Surf City offers visitors nice residential areas coupled with a bustling commercial area along Long Beach Blvd. There are many stores, restaurants and mini-golf courses in Surf City to help make the area appealing to those seeking some more activity on their vacation. Surf City was the first town on Long Beach Island NJ to receive federally aided beach replenishment and therefore has some of the widest beaches on LBI. It is important to note that dogs are not allowed on the beach ANY time of year which stands in stark contrast to other towns that allows dogs on the beaches of LBI in the off-season.
