Long Beach Island is a hidden gem on the Jersey Shore. The destination may be known for its laid-back attitude and breezy atmosphere, but boy do we know how to make a good time. If you’re looking for great vibes, low-key bars, killer photo opps, fun group activities, SUNSETS FOR DAYS and incredible restaurants, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s plan the greatest bachelorette party ever.
Step one, rent a huge house for you and your girls or choose from one of the many hotels on LBI with an oceanfront view to wake up to. Next, make a few reservations ahead of time at one of the island’s many incredible restaurants to assure the party goes as smoothly as possible. Once you’ve got the basics down, it’s time for the fun stuff — group activities! Here are our favorite LBI bachelorette party group activities that will have your whole party raving for years to come.

Cruisin’ Tikis
Ever wish you could just be at your own private bar on a floating island with all your BFFs? Cruisin Tikis is making your dreams come true on their floating tiki bar. The two-hour cruise leaves out of the Causeway Marina and comes with a captain that’s ready to take you wherever the party is! You even get to bring your own drinks and snacks aboard so make sure you stock up on your favorite hard seltzers before your maiden voyage. Create your own playlist to jam out to on the boat and be sure to wear your bathing suits for when you stop at the sandbar for a dip. HOT TIP: they have a margarita machine on board. You know what to do about that.
Pedal Cycle
Take your bachelorette party on a one-of-a-kind Beach Haven pub crawl with the LBI Pedal Cycle. This 15-passenger bike requires a bit of teamwork to get going, but that’s half the fun. Ride the Pedal Cycle up to three of the most well-known bars in Beach Haven where you’re guaranteed to have an amazing time, including spots like Black Whale, Bird & Betty’s, the Sea Shell and Tucker’s, and get ready to party. You’ll enjoy exclusive drink specials, live music and more perks before hopping back on the bike and REPEAT! It’s the most fun way to enjoy a pub crawl with your gals.
Parasailing
If your group is up for a little bit of adventure, then parasailing is the move. LBI Parasail operates out of Barnegat Light and is ready to take you on the adventure of a lifetime. Take turns soaring in the air and over the water as you take in breathtaking views and wave to the rest of your party below. This is truly an experience you won’t ever forget (and it’s not for the faint of heart)! Anyone who doesn’t want to parasail can sit on the boat as an observer and hype everyone else up. Plus you’ll be able to snap lots of photos for each other on the boat!
Luxury Boat Charter
If your group is a little smaller (6 people or less) charter a luxury boat for a sunset cruise out of Barnegat Light. LBI Luxury Charters takes you out to Barnegat Bay for views of the Old Barney lighthouse as the sun sets. Bring your own champagne to sip on while snapping lots of photos and enjoying the views. You’ll be riding the waters in absolute luxury and it’s the perfect way to close out a crazy bachelorette weekend (and to kick things off!).
Queen City Pedal Boat
LBI’s latest attraction, the Queen City Pedal Boat, has officially set sail for the summer 2021 season. The boat holds up to 24 people so is ideal for large parties, but even a small crew can power this mighty ship across its 12 cycle stations. The 35ft pedal-powered pontoon boat leaves from Morrison’s dock in Beach Haven and cruises along the Little Egg Harbor Bay, cultivating a perfect vibe for sipping, cycling and grooving. It’s BYOB, so make some pitchers of the bride’s favorite daytime cocktail and be on your way.
