Surf-City is located on Long Beach Island, off the coast of New Jersey, between the communities of Ship Bottom and Harvey Cedars. The town has a permanent population of around 1,400 but during the summer season that figure swells to several thousand. The area also draws a lot of weekenders due to its' fantastic beaches on both the ocean and bay sides. There is a designated surfing area between First and Third Streets in Surf City and fishing is allowed from North 23rd Street to North 25th Street. Surf City is home to the newly renovated Surf City Hotel, a historic landmark on Long Beach Island. The hotel, originally called Mansion House, was built atop the foundation of the old Mansion of Health, which was built in 1821 but later destroyed by fire. The Surf City Hotel moved to its' present site in 1886, placing it right across the street from the train station. The hotel survives as one of the most historic buildings on Long Beach Island, and offers a variety of musical entertainment. Long Beach Island has myriad recreational activities along with specialty shops, antique shops and art galleries, fine restaurants and museums. The Barnegat Light State Park and Lighthouse is located on the northern tip of the island and offers a fantastic view of the Jersey coast, Long Beach Island and the Atlantic Ocean. An amusement park and water slide are located in Beach Haven, along with shopping in Bay Village, Schooner's Wharf and the Pier 18 Mall.

Surf City 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.
