The Last-Minute LBI Vacation Checklist: What to Remember Before You Head to Long Beach Island

Heading to Long Beach Island, NJ for one last summer getaway? Whether you're staying in Beach Haven, Ship Bottom, Surf City, Harvey Cedars or Barnegat Light, the last few days before an LBI vacation can get a little hectic.

Before you load the car, here’s a quick last-minute LBI vacation checklist — including a few things you may not need to pack at all!

✓ Linens & Towels

Before filling half the car with sheets and towels, check whether your LBI rental provides them.

If not, Pack Lite offers linen and towel rentals throughout Long Beach Island, with FREE delivery and pickup.

We professionally launder, package and label our linens by size, making arrival day much easier.

And if you really want to start vacation immediately, ask about our bed-making service. We can have your beds made and waiting for you when you arrive!

✓ Baby Gear

Traveling to LBI with little ones?

Don't forget to check whether you'll need a:

• Full-size crib
• Pack & Play
• High chair
• Booster seat

Instead of trying to squeeze bulky baby equipment into the car, you can rent it locally from Pack Lite and have it delivered directly to your LBI vacation rental.

✓ Beach Gear

Make sure you're covered for those final summer beach days!

Think about beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers before you leave home. Renting larger items can mean a lot more room in the car for everything else.

✓ Your LBI Weekend Plans

There's still plenty happening around Long Beach Island as August comes to an end.

One of the most unusual events of the summer happens Saturday, August 29 in Beach Haven.

LBI ParaCon – A Paranormal & Psychic Experience

The LBI Historical Museum is hosting LBI ParaCon, a full-day paranormal experience featuring speakers and demonstrations, paranormal vendors and artists, a haunted-objects experience room, mediums and tarot card readers, historical information about the museum itself and a food truck court.

The daytime event runs from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM.

• Sunscreen
• Phone chargers
• Sunglasses
• Beach bags
• Medications
• Reusable water bottles
• Favorite snacks
• Something warm for cooler evenings
• Reservations and rental information

And, of course, your bathing suit!
