Let’s be real — even the most active people can’t help but ease into cruise control on LBI. We wait all winter for this: that 60-something-day stretch of sun-soaked bliss, where the only real goal is mastering the balance between fun and doing absolutely nothing.
Luckily, it’s 2025 — and there’s someone out there to handle just about everything for you. This guide is here to spotlight the local businesses that let you kick back, relax, and stay on island time while they handle the rest.
Here are 10 easy ways to make your life simpler this summer and support a local business in the process. Call it a win-win.
1. Save Your Back (and maybe your marriage)
➔ Use LBI Luggers to Set Up Your Beach Gear
There’s no sadder sight than Dad — draped in Tommy Bahama chairs, dragging a wagon stacked with half a toy store and enough shovels to dig a small grave. Meanwhile, the rest of the family carries… the shirts on their backs.
Okay, maybe that’s just me — but I cant be alone. And let’s be real: grumpy dad = a bad time for the family.
Let LBI Luggers do the heavy lifting this summer.
At $18 per person, it’s probably cheaper than your soon-to-be chiropractor visit anyway.

2. Booze in Style
➔ Hire the Shake N' Strain Mobile Bar & Use Lang's Liquor for Delivery
3. Chill Without the Grill
➔ Order in from your favorite LBI spots using Uber Eats, Postmates, Grubhub — or support local with LBI Delivery
Whether you’re beach-lazy or just not feeling the tongs tonight, let the food come to you. Yeah, the delivery fee might be offensive…but so is cooking on vacation.
4. Ohm at Home
➔ Private, In-Home Yoga by Ashley Massa
You’re officially out of excuses — no more blaming traffic, full classes, or that one guy at the studio whose mat becomes a water feature by minute ten.
Whether you’re new to the mat or deep in your practice, Ashley Massa brings the calm, the stretch, and the breath straight to your doorstep – anywhere on Long Beach Island. Sessions are personalized for individuals or groups of up to 20 people.
Relax. Reconnect. Right at home.
5. Save the Steps
➔ Rent a Golf Cart From LBI Carts
In a world obsessed with counting steps, island time hits different — you might just want to limit them. That’s where LBI Carts comes in.
Cruise the Queen City like a boss with a golf cart rental that’s as convenient as it is fun. And let’s not kid ourselves — you’re not walking off that vacation calorie surplus… so why fight it? Embrace the cart life and ride in style.
PSA: Golf carts are only legal in Beach Haven — so live it up with bay views, beach runs, bar hops, and ice cream runs in the borough.
6. Give Your Grill the Makeover It Deserves
➔ Hire The Grill Boys to Make Your Grill Like-New
7. Keep Your Cans Clean
➔ Hire Aqua Fresh to Clean your Trash Cans
Life’s so in order, you’ve reached the final boss: cleaning your trash cans.
There are first world problems… and then there are keep-your-trash-cans-clean problems.
If you’ve made it this far — congrats. The rest of us can only aspire to your level of domestic dominance.
If you’ve made it here, you didn’t do it alone.
So why start now?
Hire Aqua Fresh, a family-owned and operated bin cleaner in Manahawkin, to keep your cans squeaky clean all summer long.
Your neighbors will thank you — and you’ll have one less thing to keep you up at night.
8. The Grocery Run That Hits Different in July
➔ Call LBI Lux for Your Errands and Deliveries
A “quick run to the mainland” in July? That’s like saying you’ll pop into Costco for just one thing. One ends with a $689 receipt. The other? With three hours of stolen beach time.
Skip the traffic. Skip the stress. Let LBI Lux handle your grocery shopping and delivery — so you can stay where you belong: on island time.
