Photography and fine art prints of Long Beach Island, NJ by John Rizzuto. Long Beach Island is an 18 mile long barrier island that is located along the central coast of New Jersey in Southern Ocean County. It lies about 4 to 6 miles out from the mainland and is an important part of the East Coast's Intercoastal Waterway. Because of its length and white sandy beaches, the Island has been called Long Beach since the earliest days of European exploration. Captain Cornelius Jacobsen May (some sources spell it "Mey") was a Dutch explorer and tradesman. In 1614, he traveled down the coast of New Jersey from New Amsterdam (New York). As he reached the northern end of the island known as Long Beach, he noted the rough waters and dangerous shoals uniquely marking the inlet to the bay. He named the nlet "Barendegat", which translates as Inlet of the Breakers. Today, the inlet, the bay and the township of Barnegat share the Anglo version of the name.
