Nestled at the southernmost tip of Long Beach Island, Holgate is one of the area’s oldest and most cherished destinations. Its serene atmosphere is highlighted by the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, a 2.5-mile stretch of protected barrier beach, serving as a haven for nesting birds and coastal wildlife.
After a tranquil day immersed in nature and relaxation, take a short trip—less than a mile—to a charming shopping district, filled with cozy, hometown restaurants offering local flavor and hospitality.
Holgate requires beach badges for visitors 12 and older during the summer season. Here are the current prices:
- Pre-Season Badge: $40 (available until June 15)
- Season Badge: $50
- Daily Badge: $10
Badges can be purchased through the My Beach Mobile app or at designated locations on Long Beach Island
