Section of Long Beach Township · Long Beach Island, NJ
Brant Beach
Long Beach Township's municipal building and municipal court are at 6805 Long Beach Boulevard in Brant Beach. The Army Corps of Engineers completed initial construction of its beachfill and dune between 31st and 57th Streets in 2012. The Brant Beach Taxpayers Association's history says the homes spared when Superstorm Sandy made landfall on October 29, 2012, were mainly oceanfront, with some on the oceanside, along that stretch.
A 1-mile section here was planned as Beach Haven North and then renamed for the brant geese on the bayside, according to the association's history. Henry B. McLaughlin, a Philadelphia lawyer, put a train station on the southwest corner at what is now 60th Street to draw buyers, the history says. The higher-numbered streets on his land, it notes, are named for Civil War Navy admirals, Farragut among them. The Brant Beach Yacht Club's history says a first club was incorporated on August 8, 1927, and 15 prospective members voted a new one into existence in 1947. Summer Sunday Masses began in the Colony Theater in 1937. St. Francis of Assisi Church opened in 1958, and the community center behind it opened on July 5, 1972.
