November Events at the Jersey Shore: Long Beach Island & Surrounding Area — 2025
Your Off‑Season Getaway Just Got Better
As the summer crowds fade and the sea breeze turns crisp, September through December is a golden time to experience the charm of Long Beach Island and the broader Southern Ocean County region. With early holiday markets, live‑music nights, fundraising dinners, and craft fairs filling the calendar, November 2025 offers the perfect mix of local flavor and relaxed coastal life. Whether you own a beach house or are simply enjoying a weekend escape, this is your moment—trade sun‑tanning for fire‑lit evenings.
And if you’re in the region, don’t miss swinging by Fireplaces Plus in Manahawkin—just before the bridge into LBI—where you can explore a full selection of fireplaces, stoves, and outdoor fire solutions to cozy up your home for the season.
