Spray-Beach
is located on the southern portion of Long Beach Island, between North Beach Haven and Beach Haven Terrace. It consists of seven blocks of Long Beach Township from 20th to 27th Streets. Long Beach Island is an 18-mile long barrier island located off the Jersey Shore, and Long Beach Township's 12 miles of divided beaches span about two-thirds of the island's coastline. The area known as Spray Beach was started in the late 1800s when William Ringgold purchased the area above North Beach Haven known as Cranberry Hill. Many people purchased parcels of land from Ringgold and began building summer homes there and Ringgold's daughter named the small community Spray Beach. The large home built by the Ringgold family eventually was renovated and became the Spray Beach Hotel. All types of beach activities are available on Long Beach Island, including swimming, sunning, shelling, crabbing, boating, fishing, surfing and sailboarding. A surf-fishing tournament is held on the beaches of the island in the fall and has been an annual event for over fifty years. The community of Beach Haven is the "hub" of the island and is filled with galleries, shops, restaurants and nightclubs. That's also where you'll find the island's only amusement park and water park. Other attractions on the island near Spray Beach include the Barnegat Lighthouse and Museum, the Long Beach Island Arts and Science Foundation and the Edwin B. Forsyth National Wildlife Refuge.

Spray Beach Weather & Climate
|
|
|
East-central New Jersey , along the coast, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
