Long Beach Island's entire shooting budget was secured by a single $600 paycheck, which Mike received answering phones at his mom's law office.
Long Beach Island was re-written a month before shooting to be primarily set at Mike's childhood home. Because of budgetary restrictions, a shore house could not be secured in time for the shoot.
Long Beach Island is the culmination of Mike Macera's Jersey Shore Trilogy. The other two films are Brigantine (2021) and Point Pleasant (2022). The films were all shot a summer apart from each other.
