Ship Bottom is a laid-back beach break on Long Beach Island offering consistent peaks suited for all skill levels. The east-facing Atlantic shoreline picks up a wide range of swells, with fall nor'easters and hurricane remnants delivering the most powerful conditions. Westerly offshore winds keep the faces clean, and the sandy bottom provides forgiving rides along this classic Jersey Shore barrier island.
