A fun family water park that consists of many wet attractions. Thundering Surf includes eight giant water-slides, the "Cowabunga Beach" which is a kids play area, a giant water bucket, "Flowrider Double" which is a wave surfing stimulator and a lazy river. Thundering Surf also has mini-golf which customers find to be a great family activity.
Fantasy Island is a place for rides, games, arcades, food and ice cream. Fantasy Island is a more family orientated place so the rides aren't exactly "extreme thrillers". The amusement park offers rides such as a merry-go-round, bumper cars, the "Sea Dragon", tea cups, drop tower, and more. Although Fantasy Island is a fun and entertaining place, they do not offer large roller coasters.
Explore the history of the Jersey Shore, with a focus on LBI. The museum has an extensive postcard collection to look at and many artifacts. Most notable is the exhibit featuring the SS Morro Castle disaster. You can also try out a real ship engine telegraph!
Visit the LBI part of the Refuge to see nature with minimal human interference. This area is designated as a wilderness area, which means no wheeled vehicles of any kind. There's a parking lot at the end of Long Beach Boulevard with a bathroom.
Parasailing & Waverunners
You can rent watercraft ranging from pontoon boats to jet skis. The staff can be occasionally unhelpful though.
Climb the famous lighthouse at the northern tip of LBI! There is also an Interpretive center to learn about the history of the lighthouse.
