LBI's Landmark, the Shack, Is No More

In the marsh on the eastbound side of the Causeway Bridge was the long-standing and beloved Long Beach Island landmark. The Shack was just a few years shy of a century. It was reported on October 30, 2012 that Sandy's devastation officially destroyed the Shack.

Over the years, I have taken many photographs of the Shack. I hope to add more pics to this post later.

You can read an article by Julie Kaszas-Hoch about the Shack's demise in The SandPaper, January 9, 2013.The article talks about  Ben Wurst, who salvaged pieces of the Shack and is transforming and selling old yellow pine wallboards into cutouts of New Jersey.
