I know... more of my travel-related questions, but I know there are so many East Coast Bees with wonderful, practical advice.

We're going to be in Long Beach Island for a family wedding. We've been given a couple of restaurant recommendations. We're renting a big beach house with lots of family members.
We've been told it's basically a long stretch of beach and houses. Anyone know if shops and restaurants are convenient by walking or do you drive everywhere? We're sharing a rented minivan, so I'm hoping things are easily walkable. Also, what kind of stroller would you suggest bringing?

Any other tips or suggestions for the area greatly appreciated!
