Sneakboxes on the bay. Fishing for weakies and bluefish. Ten-cent beers and formal yacht club dances. A fifteen-year-old bell boy parking cars at one of the grand hotels. Trains crossing the bay on a wave-lapped trestle. Pound fishermen hauling nets. Horseback beach patrols in wartime. Northeasters and hurricanes sweeping buildings out to sea and rearranging the shoreline.Cedar swamps and dunes thick with beach plum and bayberry, eroded by storms.This fascinating story, told in nearly 340 photographs and the reminiscences of generations of people who have called Long Beach Island home, will delight those who know, and those who have just discovered, this place apart.
