Spray Beach — A Favorite South LBI Community
Spray Beach has one of the most evocative names on the Jersey Shore — and the 1920 aerial shows why: an exposed oceanfront, a wide beach, and natural dunes. In 1920, Spray Beach was a modest cottage community with generous natural beach cover. By 1933, development had grown and the hurricane had narrowed the beach. The 1944 aerial shows the aftermath of the Great Atlantic Hurricane, which struck southern LBI hard in September. By 1962, Spray Beach was a fully established summer community — but the Ash Wednesday Storm overwashed the island repeatedly, and the 1962 aerial captures a community testing its resilience against the sea.
