LBI Locals Team

LBI Locals was founded in 2024 by Beau and Drew Guarino, driven by a shared love for the Long Beach Island community and a belief that it needed a common ground where businesses, locals, and visitors could connect and celebrate everything that makes LBI special. What started as an idea has quickly grown into a dedicated team of over 10 people, along with a summer internship program made up of individuals who share the same deep appreciation for the island.Our mission is simple: highlight the best of LBI while supporting the local businesses and community that make it so unique. We do not accept payment from businesses for features or coverage—everything we share is completely unbiased and rooted in genuine experiences, ensuring our audience can trust what they see.As we continue to grow, we have exciting plans ahead, including contests, giveaways, local events, and more ways to bring people together.We truly appreciate you visiting our site and hope you find it both useful and enjoyable. If you ever have feedback, questions, or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d love to hear from you.
