Section of Long Beach Township · Long Beach Island, NJ
North Beach
North Beach's tap water comes from Surf City. Long Beach Township's 2026 water quality report says the North Beach Water System is supplied by the Surf City Water Department through a purchase agreement. A Surf City ordinance adopted on July 8, 2026, says the response district of Surf City Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 and EMS includes North Beach from 25th Street to Roxie Avenue, a portion it puts at 276 real properties. High Point Volunteer Fire Company says it covers North Beach, and Barnegat Light First Aid Squad says it provides emergency medical service to all of North Beach.
Margaret Thomas Buchholz's history of Harvey Cedars on the borough's website says the Great Swamp extended from Surf City to the southern boundary of present-day Harvey Cedars, a stretch that includes North Beach. The North Beach Taxpayers Association dates to July 1954, The SandPaper reported in 2023. After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Stockton's Coastal Research Center noted overwash between North Beach homes extending to the Boulevard. The dredge Liberty Island was working on beach replenishment here in July 2016, according to The SandPaper.
