It is believed to be the last uninhabited barrier island left on the U.S. Atlantic coast.
"Little Beach" was not always uninhabited and contained a small collection of fishing cabins that were used for decades before being burned down to make the island a refuge.
In addition, Little Beach, like Brigantine, was a popular summer fishing spot for the Lenape Natives for generations.
Plans to build a bridge from the mainland were abandoned in 1929, forever isolating Little Beach.
A few signs of a once-active community remain: ruins of a lifesaving station, poles for power lines, an outhouse, and a deteriorating dock stretching the width of the island.
