Local Summer in LBI
Spending a month at the beach in Long Beach Island, New Jersey.
This year, I was one of the lucky ones to spend fall on Long Beach Island in New Jersey.
We rented family friends’ beach house for about a month and got to frolic on the beach, surf, and live like LBI millionaires (in a 70s style cottage that reminds me of my grandma’s house with the best floral wallpaper and an abundant tomato garden.)
If you ask me, September and early October are the absolute best times of year to be on the island. The weather was cooling down at night but still perfect in the day. Bailey got lots of beach walks and made new friends at the park down the street.
It was nice to have our own place, make meals, have friends over, and sit out on the porch in the “old neighborhood.” And it was only a short drive to the nearby surf spots, so way easier to squeeze in some waves before or after work. I even got to sub a few yoga classes and see my yoga friends at Yoga Bohemia.
After the month, we were off on the next adventure, but it was fun to take a pause on LBI for a spell.
