THE LONG BEACH LAND BRIEF
Land in the
Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes setting.
Long Beach township has 5.45 square miles of land in Ocean County. Its Census boundary intersects Barrier Islands/Coastal Marshes, within Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens.
Sandy coastal landscapes combine beaches, dunes, bays and marshes with oak-pine woodland. These pine-barrens settings form a transition between warmer southern coasts and rockier shores farther north.
