Getting Here From Long Beach Island

The Route 72 causeway is the key connection between Long Beach Island and the mainland.

Head south on Long Beach Boulevard to the Route 72 causeway, cross into Manahawkin, then take Route 72 west to the Garden State Parkway. From there, head north and exit for Route 37, then travel east to our dealership in Toms River.

There are two practical timing considerations for island drivers. The Route 72 causeway is the only primary way off Long Beach Island, so congestion there can affect the entire trip. During the summer season, Route 72 westbound can become especially busy on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. If you are visiting for a test drive or service appointment between Memorial Day and Labor Day, a weekday or morning appointment can make the trip considerably easier.

What Island Ownership Does to a Vehicle

Salt air, sand, sun, and seasonal storage create a different maintenance environment for Long Beach Island vehicles.

Long Beach Island vehicles can experience more environmental exposure than vehicles kept farther inland. If your vehicle is parked near the ocean or sits for long periods between visits, a few maintenance items deserve particular attention.

Corrosion

Salt air can accelerate corrosion on brake and fuel lines, exhaust hardware, suspension fasteners, and wheels. Regular undercarriage inspections can help identify problems early.

Seasonal Storage

Vehicles parked from fall through spring can develop weak batteries, tire pressure issues, and brake rotor surface rust. A spring inspection is worthwhile before returning the vehicle to regular use.

Sand & Interior Wear

Sand can work its way into door seals, window channels, carpeting, and cargo areas. All-weather floor liners and regular cleaning can make beach-season cleanup much easier.

Sun Exposure

Long-term exposure to sunlight can affect clear coat and interior materials. Covered parking or a quality vehicle cover can help protect the vehicle over time.

Coastal Vehicle Service Tip: If you keep a vehicle on Long Beach Island, tell our service advisors where the vehicle is normally parked and whether it sits for extended periods. That information can help determine what areas deserve additional attention during an inspection.

Schedule a spring inspection and let our service team know that the vehicle is primarily kept on the island.

Hyundai Models That Suit Long Beach Island

Island driving brings its own priorities, from tight driveways and beach gear to seasonal vehicles that may spend months parked.

Easy to Park

The Venue and Kona offer smaller footprints that can be easier to maneuver in island driveways and around busy summer streets.

Beach Gear & Guests

The Tucson and Santa Fe provide additional passenger and cargo space for chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boards, and other beach equipment.

Wet & Sandy Loads

The Santa Cruz provides an open bed that can be useful for wet, sandy, or messy gear that you would rather keep outside the passenger compartment.

Second Vehicles

If your vehicle spends much of the year parked, a Hyundai Certified Pre-Owned vehicle may be worth considering for a lower-mileage second vehicle.
