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. We also have jet ski, boat, kayak and SUP rentals- fill your day with fun on the water!

Things down the shore change every summer, but one place stays the same. The Hud! The good old fashioned "shore dive bar."
