Southern Charm In Gatlinburg Tennessee: Long Beach Island Vacation

By John Roney


A Long Beach Island vacation is a fun vacation! LBI is a popular New Jersey beach vacationing area. This Jersey shore area encompasses many smaller towns, the most popular being Beach Haven. Many people find this area to be a convenient getaway, and is a favorite beach destination pulling in people from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware and Connecticut.

Arnona is an old neighborhood between Baka and Talpiot Mizrach, in the southeastern part of Jerusalem. It is where Shai Agnon lived and his home is now a newly opened museum. There are streets of new apartment buildings as well as lovely single homes that have been redone to maintain their charm.

While the island itself is 18 miles long, it's actually only a couple of blocks wide. LBI is as narrow as two blocks wide in some spots of the island! I've personally been going to LBI in New Jersey for over 40 years. I've spent many family vacations there. A Long Beach Island vacation offers a great "family friendly" environment.

Clearwater Beach is located in Pinellas County which is home to Clearwater, the county seat, St. Petersburg & Tarpon Springs. The county is located on a narrow 280 square mile peninsula with the Gulf on one side and Tampa Bay on the other. It is one of three counties that make up "Greater Tampa Bay."

You'll also notice there aren't a lot of franchises and big box stores. You won't find big name hotels here, but rather family owned smaller hotels. The lack of franchises helps to keep a charming feel on the island. LBI is truly an area full of thriving small businesses. In this day, it's hard to find a vacation resort that isn't overflowing with franchises at every turn. This is extremely unique on the Jersey coast. If you've been looking for a gorgeous place for a family trip on the east coast, look no farther than Southern Charm In Gatlinburg Tennessee for your next summer vacation.
