    Long Beach NY is beautiful--it's like Coney Island, but without all of the seaside resort-type stuff.

    My seven year goes every week to an after school class. 2 years now and loves every second of it. Michelle and her staff are awesome. Highly recommend signing your kid up. It’s very reasonably priced and a great activity

    I moved into the area last fall and went to a few of the bars and restaurants. This spring my wife and I got new bikes and ride them on the boardwalk in the mornings. The beaches are large with life guards, volley ball nets, etc. A great place to spend the day.

    Due my Delta flight cancellation, I was provided a free overnight stay at a hotel here in Long Beach, NY.

    I noticed this beautiful church during this short visit. I like the decorations of its front facades, the steeples in the back areas, wooden beams of the ceilings, colorful stations of the cross, the plaque regarding its restorations after damages suffered from Thyphoon Sandy

    Love this bar! We stop in every time we come to the area. Bartenders are great...and clientele are all nice, friendly locals. It's "Cheers" near the ocean.

    Things to know before you go: the town cow-towed and long Beach's last remaining movie theater has now been sold to Big Business. No protection was put in place as to who could purchase the site, and now we get another nail salon gas station bank and smoke shop. So long Cinema hello commercialism. Otherwise the theater was great for what it was, as an independent theater not run by a mega Corporation they did the best they could, even with movie companies siphoning 90% of ticket sales, for the most part they did pretty good up until Sandy and covid.

    Ride to airport in a large SUV. Driver Lawrence was very courteous, arrived on time, drove safely, handled the baggage well.

    Shine's is your run of the mill local watering hole. Cold beers and an Irish theme. The place is over 100 years old and worth the trip.
