Sat Jun 06 9:00AM 2009 RSVP on Meetup. We will be biking from tip to tip on Long Beach Island, a 20 mile, round trip. This is an easy, flat, scenic bike ride. For those who want, you can do an 11 mile round trip, which goes from the bike rental place to the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park and back. Another alternative is to do 13.5 miles, which will be from the bike rental place to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park to the miniature golf and then back to the bike rental place. Either way, we will meet at 9:00 am at Surf Buggy Inc.
You can bring your bike, helmet and lock or rent the equipment from them. The rental cost is $20 for the whole day ($15 if we have 10 rentals). We will be making various stops along the way for rest and sightseeing. These include:
1) Craft Gallery and Show (small collection), LBI Foundation for the Arts & Sciences, 120 LBI Blvd., Loveladies, NJ 08008, 609-494-1241.
2) Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, 609-494-2016. The lighthouse is 217 steps and has spectacular panoramic views of the Barnegat Bay, Long Beach Island and Island Beach. The cost to go into the lighthouse is $1. For those who don't want to go up to the top of the lighthouse, you can still see some of the views on television screens. There is a small interpretive center/museum and short (.2 mile) woodland trail.
3) There are numerous restaurants around. We will check them out and choose one to eat at. You can bring a picnic lunch if you wish.
4) There are four miniature golf places in Ship Bottom. We will check them out and choose one to play.
We should be back at the bike rental place around 3:00, then we will head out to the beach. The beach tags are $5 for the day.
Around 6:00, we will go to Bay Village, Schooners' Wharf, 9th Street & Bay Avenue, Beach Haven, NJ, 08009, 609-492-2800, to look around the quaint shops and have dinner at one of the restaurants.
You can come for the whole day or part of the day. If you are coming for only part of the day, please let me know.
