Sand Castle Bed and Breakfast
My favorite time of the year on Long Beach Island is the fall.....cooler, crisper days, fewer people, clear blue skies, fiery sunsets, even the sand dunes boast a leaf color change from green to bright red that beckons you to pluck it, albeit the leaf is poison ivy and most of us are highly allergic to it! I was so allergic as a child I had to get poison ivy shots! So look, but don't get too close.....its beauty is skin deep!
But seriously, the best happening on our sand dunes this Friday night is a bonfire and storyteller. Robin Moore has been coming to Barnegat Light for over 20 years and continues to delight audiences both young and old with his fabulous stories he has collected from all over the world.
The Sand Castle is offering $50.00 per night off the regular room or suite price with any two night stay this Halloween weekend. There are so many activities our guests can participate in....from driving around viewing all the scarecrow entries in the scarecrow competition.... to simply having a special Halloween dinner.... to costume parties.....to a simple happy hour and appetizer special re-opening of the upstairs at Rick's American Cafe.....call us for details and suggestions......you can have "spooktacular fun for a spooktacular price!" 609-494-6555

Honeymoon on Long Beach Island
Nancy Gallimore, Innkeeper
Sand Castle Bed and Breakfast
This week the Sand Castle staff enjoyed meeting newlyweds Wes and Marissa McIlhinney of Warrington, Pa, as they celebrated with a honeymoon stay in our Lighthouse Vista Suite. The fall weather was perfect as it had been for their outdoor wedding at Peddlers Village in Lahaska, Pa. Wes's fond memories of LBI and the Barnegat Lighthouse encouraged him to look for a bed and breakfast where they could enjoy a relaxing stay and he could share his nostalgic memories of the area with Marissa. The beautiful autumn weather gave Wes the opportunity to take Marissa on a grand tour....they walked all the way out the jetty on the amazingly flat and even rocks to the very end! Marissa admitted feeling a little nervous as she climbed the 217 steps of the spiral staircase inside the Barnegat Lighthouse but really enjoyed the view from the top. Together they explored the beautiful sand dunes the Innkeeper told them about. Their favorite dinner spot was "Kubel's", which is located right next door to the Sand Castle and they appreciated the very relaxed atmosphere found there. They also enjoyed dinner at "Plantations". And how did they feel about this bed and breakfast? "The Lighthouse Vista Suite was beautiful and awesome....this is the best vacation place to go after the stress of a wedding" explained Wes and Marissa added, "....very classy and homey, breakfasts at Sand Castle were amazing....and the homemade pastries were so good!" The Staff and Innkeeper of the Sand Castle wish all the best to this sweet couple as they start their life together, and look forward to seeing them in the future, perhaps for their anniversary!

Nancy Gallimore, Innkeeper
Sand Castle Bed and Breakfast
Another fun event awaits those visitors who join us any fall week-end throughout October. Businesses on and around LBI have put up displays of over 100 scarecrows in all shapes and poses. Those folks who wish to participate can vote for their favorite by going to www.discoversouthernocean.com A list of locations can be printed....seeing these creations in person is so much fun! I have seen scarecrows pumping gas, riding in an ambulance, painting their self-portrait, bride and groom scarecrows, gone fishin' scarecrows.....lots of humor and plain old fun! And delightful to see, rain or shine! We have a lot of talented, creative people behind these fabulous exhibits, so come on out and take a look!
