Beach Haven Terrace — The Growth of Southern LBI
Beach Haven Terrace represents the incremental development that transformed southern LBI from a natural barrier island into a summer resort landscape. The 1920 aerial shows the early community taking shape behind natural dunes, with the beach wide and undisturbed. By 1933, the Depression-era economy had slowed growth slightly but the community continued to build. The 1944 aerial, taken after the Great Atlantic Hurricane, shows significant dune erosion and storm impact on the oceanfront. By 1962, Beach Haven Terrace was fully built out. The Ash Wednesday Storm of that year overwhelmed the entire island — three consecutive tidal cycles kept southern LBI submerged for days.
