Long Beach Island

Take the 277-step challenge.

Movie buffs will love the Lighthouse International Film Festival (www.light-housefilmfestival.org) in Beach Haven, Loveladies and Surf City
June 5-8. For more arts and culture stuff, check in with the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences (www.lbifoundation.org) in Loveladies.

Climbing the 277 steps at Barnegat Lighthouse (www.friendsof-barnegatlight-house.org) may sound daunting for the little ones, but the view is well worth the effort, especially on nights with full moons.
