You can walk to the beach or the bay easily. You can also walk to Wally's for brunch, How You Brewin Coffee, a noodle restaurant, a bbq place, Rich's Ice Cream, etc. It is in Surf City, not Beach Haven. You can walk almost everywhere. There is a cute little church next door and we got to see a wedding which was very nice! The weather was beautiful. We were so lucky.There is a washer and dryer and dishwasher in the unit which makes life easier when you travel. There are plenty of cups, mugs, plates, etc. if you are going to cook or bring food in. You know what they say, if you're lucky enough to be in LBI, you're lucky enough.
