LONG BEACH ISLAND, NJ — A trip to the Jersey Shore isn't cheap. And by not cheap, it's one of the most expensive vacation destinations in the entire country - or at least one spot is, according to a recent survey.

Travel website CheapHotels.org ranked the 20 most expensive summer destinations in the United States. And Long Beach Island came in at number four.

The survey compared accommodation rates across all U.S. destinations during Aug. 2022, only considering hotels or inns rated at least three stars and located close to a beach or city center.

So how expensive is LBI? According to the survey, the average cheapest available double room is $384 a night. Ouch! But it makes sense, considering how expensive shore house rentals can be.

LBI is the only NJ spot on the list. The most expensive destination is Nantucket, according to the survey, with the average cheapest available double room there being $525 a night. LBI also ranks being Martha's Vineyard and Montauk in second and third, respectively, with average nightly rates of $485 and $416, the survey said.

Though LBI may be one of the most expensive destinations, it's certainly a beautiful place and makes a great vacation spot.
