About Manahawkin
Manahawkin is the heart of Stafford Township in southern Ocean County, and for most travelers it is the mainland gateway to Long Beach Island. In summer, the whole barrier island funnels through here, so traffic on Route 72 toward the Manahawkin Bay Bridge can stack up fast on a Saturday. Our drivers know the area beyond the airport runs: the causeway out to LBI and the beach towns of Ship Bottom, Beach Haven, and Surf City, the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge along the bay, and the back roads through Stafford that move when Route 72 does not. Whether you are heading to Newark for an early flight or coming home from a week at the shore, we know the local roads and when to leave to beat the bridge.
