Beach Haven offers more things to do than any other Long Beach Island community. One of the biggest draws, besides the beach, is LBI's only amusement park – Fantasy Island Park. If you need to find a place to eat, a place to stay or just want to go shopping, that is all well covered here too. Once knows as the "Queen city, six 
miles at sea, " Beach Haven is rich with old names, old buildings and a history that serves an important role in defining the town. There are museums, a historic district and a number of other preserved and revered treasures found around town. With all of these attractions it is not surprising that Beach Haven is the busiest place on Long Beach Island.
Long Beach Boulevard is called Bay Avenue here and it is where you will find many of the local businesses. The Thundering Surf Water Slide and Fantasy Island are found on Bay Ave, as are the popular Bay Village and Schooner's Wharf. Somewhat unusual for a LBI town there is also a supermarket, a pharmacy and a hardware store.

Beach Haven Beach Information
The ocean beach is accessible from any of the east west oriented streets that dead-end at the beach. Public parking is available but on weekends and holidays it can be a challenge to find a parking place unless you arrive early. Bayside public parking lots are located on Taylor Ave and on Dock Rd. The best on street parking for the ocean beach is along Centre St., Coral St., Amber St, and Engleside Ave.
Lifeguards are on duty during the summer
A kids bay beach is located just off of Taylor Ave. Badges are required. The water is shallow and there is no rough surf - perfect for little children. Lifeguards are present on a part-time basis. There is also a nice playground area at the back of this beach.
There are a few public bathrooms: on the oceanfront deck near Centre Street, the bayside near Dock Rd, at Pearl St.and Bay Ave., in Bay Village at Taylor Ave, and in Schooner's Wharf.
