Ship Bottom has the Beautiful Beaches You Dream of for Your Summer Vacation
Ship Bottom is known as the gateway to
Long Beach Island
because the causeway leading to the mainland goes into this part of the island. The name supposedly comes from a the fact that a shipwreck happened off the cost and a lovely damsel in distress was rescued from the bottom of the ship.
This is one of the quieter beaches on Long Beach Island. Many visitors love it because, since it is only a quarter of a mile wide, they can easily walk from the sea to the the bay. Check out the ocean. Too rough? Talk a walk and spend the day on the bay. There is no boardwalk, and only a small amusement area. But it does have some of the most well kept, naturally beautiful beaches on the Jersey Shore, if not on the east coast, and the beach badge rates are among the lowest.
But there many
restaurants
and wonderful food stalls to choose from as well as cute little shops and dozens of boutiques catering to the beachy taste. There are lots of beach houses and condos for rent, and, since this section of LBI is only 1/4 mile wide, every one is within walking distance of the beach.
The town has a boat ramp and a fishing (and crabbing)pier and a number of great parks. the month of July features free Concerts by the Bay each Thursday at the 10th Street Waterfront Park.
This is definitely one of those shore towns that just invites you to put your feet up and enjoy the sun, sand and sea.
