About Beach Haven
Beach Haven is a rather affluent community, although it is certainly more affordable than other places on LBI. Much like the beginnings of the town, a majority of the homes are summer homes. You may notice that there is an abundance of newly constructed homes in Beach Haven. This is due in part to Superstorm Sandy, which in late 2012 brought a historic storm surge, flooding, and damaging winds. The community has all but healed from the damage. The area of what is now Beach Haven was a desolate, treeless barrier island. Using wooden canoes, Lenape natives harvested clams for food and gathered shells for trading and jewelry. Much later, colonists occasionally set up rudimentary fishing and whaling camps, and farmers let their cattle graze the sand dunes. A few small boarding houses were set
