Long Beach Island, NJ - Anyone know of a good place to tie up for lunch?

[Gail W.]

Hey everyone.. We're trying to meet up with some friends & family on Long Beach Island for an afternoon. We keep our boat in the Forked River, and thought it would be fun to sail down to LBI, tie up somewhere for just a couple of hours, have lunch with everyone, then sail back to the Forked River. I know there are places, restaurants, etc, in LBI, but I just don't know where they are. Last month, when we were bringing our boat home, motoring through the inlet, I thought I spotted some places, but to tell you the truth, I was concentrating more on watching for those markers in the channel! So if anyone can offer suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

I "think" you can tie up at Howards Resturant in Bewach Haven. There is also a new Resturant in Cedar Run (out on the end of Cedar Run Dock Rd) Antuanetta's (I know I bothched THAT spelling) The are rebuilding their docke so boats and pull up. water depth may be an issue as I sure you know it is all along LBI.
We sail down in Great Bay (the other side of the old coast guard station) and have yet to venture up your way due to the channel restrictions

Hi Gail,

You could try The Dutchman's Brauhaus on Cedar Bonnet Island right on the Causeway.
They have a nice outside setup which would be great for lunch. Just remember the outside bar does not accept credit cards. Ask your bartender about an ATM withdraw.
