Restaurants
LBI has a fantastic collection of restaurants ranging from beach casual to eclectic. Many are BYOB so check before going. Wait times can be extremely long in the peak season. Check for early bird specials and reservations.
Recently many restaurants have been adding outside seating and/or rooftop seating.
Pro Tip – Many of the restaurants rely on college aged kids for their staff. That means that they are shorthanded when they start going back to school. Expect longer waits beginning about a week before Labor Day.
