Mary M MottaJuly 24, 2015this beach is clean and less crowded... because it costs $12 a person to go to. get a LIRR summer deal, which includes round-trip train fare and the beach pass for a bit cheaper if you're traveling in
Jeffrey ZeldmanJuly 11, 2016Well manicured, relatively uncrowded beach accessible via LIRR. Nice little diners & suburban houses. Great place to get Long Island (as opposed to Brooklyn) flavor of NY summer beach. Beach fees.- KBHApril 18, 2013Easy, fun family friendly day trip. Round trip LIRR train ticket to Long Beach includes beach pass for less than $25. Go early to avoid crowds, train ride is about 60min. BYO beach gear, food, drinks.

- I've been living here for 20 years. Must check out a few things here. The Beach, Swingbellys BBQ, Nuts and Sweets, The Boardwalk, and the night life (strip of bars)in the west end.
- OlgaAugust 25, 2018Long beach has a better infrastructure compared to nearby beaches (Rockaway Beach and Jones Beach). It's easy to get there by LIRR train from Penn Station. There are plenty of restaurants & bars.
Welcome to Long Beach, if you take the LIRR walk to the left or right and walk a few blocks when get the beach.Then you wont have to sit on top of each other
Degree MenOctober 26, 2011For years locals have known that the waves were the finest on all of the East Coast but now they are getting the credit they deserve for surfing waves challenging enough for any rider, amateur to pro.
Joseph SmithSeptember 17, 2015Love the ambiance and atmosphere of this place. Stay away from the huevos rancheros unless you are feeling adventurous. Love the wall decor. Definitely going back!
If you come after 1pmish, check the trash cans, you'll find enough to make a meal for a family of four, or one hungry adult! No need to bring stuff!
Nir BanchikJuly 27, 2017The beach is clean and very maintained so its nice to be there. There is 15$ entrance fee. But it worth it
Renae MasonJuly 23, 2015If you buy admission tickets with your train package you need to line up and have them converted to another beach access ticket. Pretty annoying on a hot, hot day #firstworldissues
Candice RiveraJuly 26, 2016This beach is really clean and a little closer to the city, not usually as crowded as Jones beach, so it's a nice alternative!
MichelleOctober 7, 2011Clean beach with a nice long boardwalk. If you're coming from Penn Station NYC, be sure you leave before 9:30am because the masses of people jumping on those trains on a hot summer day are insane.
Arrive early and avoid the crowds or later in the day and have an early dinner at one of the many restaurants nearby.
Damian BayonaJuly 18, 2015Very nice beach with clean bathrooms, chairs and umbrellas available to rent and food trucks. $12 entrance fee.
ᴡ NikeDecember 9, 201229/10/2012 The disconnected New York after the hurricane "Sandie". Because of a hurricane the emergency shutdown of electricity occurred not only in New York, but also in other regions of the country.
Moonlit walk under the stars at midnight, refreshing salt mist as you walk barefoot, is heavenly and calms the soul. Sweet serenity and simplicity. Nothing beats it.
New boardwalk (well, the part of it already rebuilt) opened up a week ago or so. Is awesome.
Kathleen ChiuSeptember 1, 2019Get here before 9 and they will never ask for your beach pass even if they are in kiosk
🆗🆒Lindsey WeberJune 1, 2010Cross the street from the LIRR station and walk a few streets down the Boardwalk to get away from the crowds. Cost $12 to get in, but you can get a train ticket & admission fee for a bit of a deal.- Love long beach. Just don't sit on the lifeguard chairs at midnight, the cops that patrol at night, always have an issue with that. Smh ...
- If you want to move away from the crowds of Jones Beach, then go to Long Beach. Fine sand and the waves aren't rough.
Willem Van LanckerAugust 18, 2015Easy day trip from the city. The beach is great, the town on the beach... Not so much.
Julius TarngJuly 11, 2015Grab the combo ticket at the booth at penn station or you'll be lining up to pay 12
Wale AnimashaunAugust 17, 2014Beautiful, clean beach, upscale bars, plenty of parking space. It's just awesome!
Ángel OrantesJuly 7, 2013Is always good , when you have good friends and nice weather .... And having all LBPD and life guards around make it safe
DeryaAugust 26, 2015Clean beach, very close to parking lot, not too much crowded, but $12 per person little too much...
Fred CaminoAugust 11, 2014A public beach that charges $12 admission fee. Um, ok. You can get a "Beach Getaway" LIRR ticket for $22 that includes round trip train and beach admission, saving $8. New Foursquare is awful.
A.J. FiorellaAugust 29, 2011Shit Show. There's localism among the locals themselves! I've heard threats in the water, intimidation and a couple of fists thrown. Best before dawn and right before dusk (in the winter).
Andrew SandersonNovember 29, 2011Great town lots of great restaurants, and close to several malls and movie theaters.
Easy ride on the LIRR from Penn Station drops you off just blocks from the boardwalk.
Ralph RodriguezJuly 5, 2013The cost is $12 pp but its well worth it. You can now use cash or credit card to pay.
David SpinksJuly 3, 2010Beach it up during the day and head west for the nightlife. The Inn, The Beach House, and Minnesotas are the top bars. Don't swim if the lifeguards aren't there. Seriously, stop doing that.
Katie EytchSeptember 5, 2014Beautiful view but the vibe is just dressed up trash. Not a classy beachfront (though it does try hard to be).
shaunaNovember 3, 2012Before hurricane sandy long beach was a great area. After the rebuilt it will once again become better.
Harlem Art H&M Art Gallery Mahmut MavrukApril 17, 2012Beautiful weather clean air. Nice boardwalk reserved for me and my wife only :-)
Floyd GreenwoodJuly 15, 2013Nice clean beach. There was a lot of ppl but it didn't feel overcrowded.
Morgan JamesAugust 18, 2015It was the first beach I've personally been to where trash was present everywhere by the water. Delaware beaches don't have this problem.
Mother nature seems to turn on the high tide around 415-5pm...waves 6ft over tall! AMAZING!
Jason WongAugust 8, 2010If you get a round trip beach special ticket from NYC Penn Station you get discounted $1 admission to the beach otherwise its $12 admission to the beach
For Volleyball Leagues...good to arrive early to warm up.. and check out the competition of course!!! Jeje
