Summer is in full swing on Long Beach Island! If you're vacationing on LBI this week, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the island beyond a day at the beach. From live music to a family-friendly sand sculpting contest and a special evening at the lighthouse, here are three LBI events to add to your vacation plans.

Planning a vacation to Long Beach Island should be exciting—not stressful. Yet every summer, many families find themselves stuffing their vehicles with sheets, towels, blankets, and beach gear before heading to the shore. As more travelers look for ways to simplify their trips, linen rentals have become one of the easiest ways to make an LBI vacation more relaxing from the moment you arrive.

Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer on Long Beach Island, and if your family is heading to the Jersey Shore, there’s no shortage of kid-friendly fun to enjoy! Whether you're staying in Beach Haven, Surf City, Ship Bottom, or Barnegat Light, Pack Lite makes your vacation easier with professionally laundered linen rentals, baby equipment rentals, and beach gear delivered free right to your rental.

1. Fantasy Island Amusement Park – Beach Haven

Nothing says “summer at LBI” like a trip to Fantasy Island! Memorial Day Weekend is one of the first big weekends when families flock to Beach Haven for rides, arcade games, treats, and that classic Jersey Shore boardwalk feel.

Perfect for:

• Toddlers
• Young kids
• Tweens
• Parents who love nostalgia

2. Climb Barnegat Lighthouse (“Old Barney”) – Barnegat Light

For families looking for something fun and memorable, climbing Barnegat Lighthouse is an LBI tradition. Kids love the adventure, and the views are incredible.

Afterward, walk the jetty, explore the beach, and let the kids burn off energy.

Great for:

• School-age kids
• Family photos
• A free outdoor activity

3. New Jersey Maritime Museum – Beach Haven

If the weather turns (because let’s be honest…Memorial Day weekend can be unpredictable!), this is a fantastic indoor family stop.

Kids can explore shipwreck artifacts, maritime history, and unique exhibits that feel very “shore vacation.”

4. Memorial Day Ceremonies Around LBI

Memorial Day is also a meaningful time to honor those who served. Many LBI towns host remembrance ceremonies that are family-appropriate and a nice opportunity to teach kids about the significance of the holiday.

5. LBI Mini Golf + Ice Cream Night

Not technically an “event,” but absolutely a Memorial Day weekend tradition.

Family favorites include:

• Hartland Golf & Arcade
• Settlers Mill Adventure Golf
• The Sand Trap

Pair it with ice cream and you’ve got the perfect vacation evening.
