Did You Know?
The bay separating the southern part of Long Beach Island from the New Jersey coastline is Little Egg Harbor Bay. Early Dutch explorers found many nests filled with the eggs of seabirds in the area, so the area was called Eyren Haven or Harbor of Eggs, and to this day, Little Egg Harbor and Little Egg Harbor Bay retain the title.
