Queen City Cycle Boat
HANDS DOWN best icecream you will ever eat. Party cake is my favorite. You can also get ANY flavor as a milkshake!
Ship Bottom Ice Cream Co.
great vibes and even better beer flights! They usually have live music too. You can bring your own food so it's a great spot for everyone in your group to get the food they want and meet up for some drinks. Tons of places to eat around but a great op...
Ship Bottom Brewery
clean and fun hotel with a restaurant, bar, and rooftop. I've been for my birthday a few times- definitely make note on your reservation and they do something special for you in your room!
Hotel LBI
My favorite breakfast in LBI. They have crazy good omelettes like "shrimp avocado". Plus it's BYOB so you can bring champagne, order OJ, and have mimosas! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. GET THE CRUMB CAKE APP. You won't regret it.
