The storm has passed. Now it's our turn to show up for LBI. 🌊💙
This weekend's nor'easter hit our island hard, and many local shops, restaurants and small businesses had to close for the whole weekend, right when they were counting on fall traffic to carry them into the off-season.
These businesses sponsor our youth teams, donate to our fundraisers, and keep the island running all year. Now we can show up for them, whether you're here on LBI or cheering us on from afar.
If you're on or near the island:
☕ Get your morning coffee from a local spot
🍽️ Go out for dinner, or order takeout
🛍️ Shop local for fall décor, clothing, gifts and holiday gifts
🎟️ Enjoy local fall events, specials and happy hours
🧾 Stop in and say hello. A visit and a kind word mean a lot this week.
If you love LBI from afar:
🎁 Buy an e-gift card now and use it on your next trip, or give it as a holiday gift
🛒 Shop online. Many LBI boutiques, surf shops and specialty stores ship anywhere.
👕 Order LBI merch, like sweatshirts, hats and mugs, to rep the island from home
📅 Book your next stay, dinner reservation or spring getaway now
⭐ Leave a 5-star review for your favorite spots. It's free and helps more than you think.
