DANA POINT, Calif. - May 7, 2013 - PRLog -- “Long Beach Island is open for business…restaurants, accommodations, attractions, and the beaches are ready and waiting for tourists to come visit,” says Curinga.

Check out these ten inns that are open and ready to pamper guests.

The Sea Gypsy is just a couple of blocks from the beaches, boardwalk, and amusement parks of Wildwood, a vital bird migration stop on the Atlantic Flyway. You can watch the world go by from the Jacuzzi on the front verandah or feed your sweet tooth with cookies from the old-fashioned candy cupboard.

Beach tags are not required on the North Wildwood sandy shores near the Candlelight Inn. Relax on an 1855 sofa in the parlor as you share stories and think about the tales that have been told in years past.
