New Jersey Has a Lot of Sandy Beaches

This list is a breakdown of the 10 longest beaches in the state. Some are one town, others are multi-town.

1. Long Beach Island. Length: 18 miles.

LBI is the longest stretch of beach in the state. Several municipalities make up the island.

2. Ocean City: 8 miles.

Like Long Beach Island, Ocean City is a true island, accessible by bridges from the mainland.

3. Seven Mile Island. Length: 7 miles.

Avalon and Stone Harbor make up the island, and all that Atlantic Ocean beachfront!

4. Brigantine. Length: 7,27 miles.

Located just north of Atlantic City, there's only one bridge connecting it to Atlantic City.
