Quiet and clean. Not crowded although I visited the weekend after Labor Day. Take everything you might need including snacks and entertainment because there’s not much provided along the boardwalk. You can bike the boardwalk which is a draw. Might try that next time. Simple and serene makes this a great spot.
Its pretty but no better than any other beach Ive been to. All the other places are free. Never again would I go there. It is absolutely insane to pay when there are more beaches just as nice and beautiful
Nice beach and boardwalk. Need more places to eat. Very clean so thats a plus. Parking was good but its the end of September when I was there.
Nice clean boardwalk, for long walks or cycling and plenty of open space.
Its beautiful and clean..and people were living thir lives!
Clean beach which seems more family oriented, quieter and not as rowdy as some others in the area. Because beach access is so tightly controlled, we had plenty of social distancing space on the 4th of July. We went early and had no problem finding nearby parking.
Our good friends live across the street from a portion of ocean beach; it’s beautiful. They charge $15 a person to get on for a day pass but once you’re there, it’s very quiet. The Atlantic is clean and the waves are nice. It’s a great beach for all ages. Cops roam the beach for people drinking and usually kick the drunk people off timely so that’s always nice. Beach is clean and they clear the ocean debris before the day starts. Really cool spot.
I was there on 4th of May 2018. That’s the beginning of summer season. It was a very windy day and a skinny guy like me would easily be blown away by strong winds.The beach is really nice with a nice sidewalk. This place usually is busy in peak summers when the air temperature is warm enough to get into the water.Getting there is easy and plenty of free parking nearby if you can find a spot :)
Amazing. Clean, sandy and long beach. Its fun to spend time with family and friends.
I found it just as good & cleans as Long Beach, the only thing missing is the broadwalk.
Nice cool and calm place to come and clear your mind.
I enjoyed walking along the board walk.
The beach was full of flies. In the hour or so that I was there I knocked down around 30 flies but new ones kept coming.For the $15 they charge for admission they should: clean the garbage cans/place plastic bags inside, clean the sand, and spray.
Very nice scenery public bathrooms water fountains the only thing I would add is more workout sections great to watch the sunset great to watch all the movies on the beach Saturday night Live and the free concerts only thing that is missing that it needs more parking they have another empty field they can turn into parking so people who live in apartment buildings do not have to walk mile and a half at night to get home only thing that that I would change I mean if you cleaned up after your dog which most of Long Beach people do very nice and neat when you see them walking their dogs I dont see they would jeopardize messing up the beach in any way shape or form and it would be more bonding time between the dog owner and the owner worst that would happen otherwise its beautiful
Very clean, very scenic
Love the variety of goods and foods as well as the regularly available items.
Nice beach and boardwalk.
Clean, soft sandy beach. Great boardwalk.
This beach gets extremely crowded and is not worth the $15 to get onto the beach. It’s mandatory that you carry around the plastic PLASTIC card that they punch which is beyond wasteful and extremely disappointing. On top of that, there’s a huge beach but only a small section you can swim in and it’s smaller that others. They wouldn’t even let people walk on the rocks which seems a bit much. Alcohol was allowed on the beach which you will need if you’re going to make it here for the long haul.
Very nice area which i live there
Cool place, very nice a clean area
Peaceful, well in the fall anyway!
This is a beautiful place
Parking is hard but nice otherwise
Wish beach access wouldnt close at 8 PM! And boardwalk at 9!
Nice place . Clean beach
Clean, peaceful and water was perfect temperature....
Yes ibnion morning. N Kuhn n
Great atmosphere, cool people, fresh air and salty water
Love it coming back again
Great beaches. DONT come after 11 pm long beach cops are a pain in the @ss & have nothing better to do!
The sand is light and soft and there are amenities for a day trip. Great local getaway from NYC!
Boardwalk, Beach,Blue Sky, Bicycles, Arts&Crafts, Food Trucks. Perfect Day. Parking is TOUGH. Go early.
This place is sooo awesome!It is very quiet.
I like this one better than jones beach but u have to pay 12 dollars if u dont leave there and the parking is hard to find
Thanks to some of the most awesome pholks on Earth (Thx Roy & Elise!), I scored an entire day on the beach including the pass, folding chairs, towels and a jeep to store my Phish cups in. This gift was presented toward the end of the 13 night BakersDozen Phish residency in NY. Our host treated us to REAL NY city pizza at Ginos and a fantastic time, to say the least. I was impressed at the very little garbage/plastic I cleaned up that day, as well as the runners on the East Coast...they all seemed to keep truckin like the Energizer bunny.
Very nice, good environment, very clean
Very nice beach to relax yourself. You can also rent umbrella and bench there, the transportation is convenient too.
Always nice quiet and relaxing
Great beach, I totally recommend, and 100% worth the beach pass
Waters are always pretty rough but the beach is nice. Having restaurants and little areas right behind the buildings is great.
This is a beutiful place, I will come back every summer
Had such a great time here on my short trip to NY!
Beautiful clean Beach with white sand!
I Love Long Beach new York 11561Because of the beach and the baldwalk
Beautiful sand and clean water.
I went when it wasnt so busy great place to relax.
Perfect night walk with a full lit moon,after spending the day with my lady on her birthday.
Very great fun time people and food and all the nice places. Loved all parts of it very nice relaxing visit will be back for a second visit soon I hope.
Yummy food totally worth it
Love this beach. Very clean. Love walking along the Broadwalk. Its so calming.
Beautiful sugar Sandy Beach. Friendly, boardwalk eateries, movies/music on the beach. Walk to town. 1 hour train to Penn Station, NYC 24/7.
A clean beach overall. Good atmosphere for everyone.
Nice lengthy boardwalk with plenty of beach access points. Somewhat easy to find free parking in the fall especially during weekdays. I would suggest bringing your own food or snacks as there are only a few options along the boardwalk, and are very spread out. The sand on the beach is well maintained and clean, great for kids to play.
Best place to run in the New York area
Nice
Great place to be specially in summer time, we had a great family fun time, nice and clean, you can find free parking spot, $15 for adults but its worth it for a whole day fun at clean beach..
Very beautiful and clean beach, only downside there are no restrooms and no showers its a real turn off cause there is no way to clean off the sand and only for that I will not be back if that’s not a downfall for you then go ahead
BUT seriously . $15 per person (non resident) is ABSURD ! Should be $10 & a donation .. or $10 then additional $5 per additional person. ( Still a nice place though non the less )
The best beach in N.Y.
The beach is nice and clean and the water was great. But the lifeguard could have a better attitude. I live in oyster bay but I love Long Beach. I came to the beach early cause I have things to do in the afternoon. I was here by 9:30. Still had to pay the 15 dollars. Around 11:15 I go to the water and slowly start getting use to it. When I was finally comfortable enough I went a little deeper. Just to have to lifeguard blow her whistle. She motions for me to walk to her. Then she says its 11:30 and its for surfers only. So I respond to her ok. Then she goes ok so why are you in the water. Mind you there was only two surfers in the water. I told her Im not from around here and I dont know all the rules and I saw two other ppl swimming so I thought it was ok. She responds with an attitude that they were lifeguards. They didnt have anything on that would identify them as lifeguards. She acted like Im supposed to know all the lifeguards on the beach. She couldve told me not to swim when she saw I was getting deeper into the water. Or She couldve been nicer and told me to swim away from the surfers. Which now there is only one. But I sill have to wait to 12 to swim.
Very nice cant wait to go back
Love the clean and tranquil beach scene, note that all the restaurants and bars are about three blocks away from the beach and boardwalk. So if you plan on spend your whole day at the beach, you might want to pack all your going to need. No real hip scene either, just good family fun
Its nice and the view is great at sunset
Nice simple peaceful boardwalk. Didnt go on the beach itself so I cant comment
Not a good day for surfing, but its as beautiful as always.
Beautiful, clean beach and a boardwalk thats great for walking, biking and watching the sunset
Love it but If ur going make sure u have cash or card because u have to pay to get on the beach before 6pm
A beautiful place to go out for a solitary walk or a jog. Its also a perfect place to bring your friends or family especially when the weather is good. Moreover, this is the place where I had one of the loveliest conversations ever. I ...
What a beautiful place to go on a summer day. Im the beautifully clean beaches to the wonderfully manicured Boardwalk on the weather is beautiful so is the environment at this beautiful Park. Unfortunately during the winter this place gets too cold to hang out at but when summertime rolls around you can count on Ocean Beach Park to be ready for all to come and have a great time at. What a wonderful environment.
Oh my God what a beautiful town song beaches great. Did the Polar Bear Plunge what fun supertarot beautiful beach
A beautiful beach and boardwalk is really the heart of Long Beach. The ocean stretches out for as far as you can see and the water is crystal clear, except when the waves come crashing in!Its certainly worth the trip and the cost to experience this two mile stretch of beauty.
Fun spot to get on the beach and in the water.
The murals are a sight to see and are fascinating up close. The bar and restaurant have some good beach food options but I wasnt impressed with the drinks. However the Highlight for many will be the beach. I look forward to returning
Beautiful place to go. You absolutely must try iFly Trapeze if you go here. Who knew that anyone could fly on a trapeze....
New boardwalk looks great. New beach access ramps are being built. Parking still remains a problem.
Beautiful beach
Great place. Great view.
Went for a Nice walk on the boardwalk, the public toilets/outdoor showers were open
Long Beach, In N.y. pristine lots of restaurants off the boardwalk and a few on it
What are the best beaches in the country I would say the world from personal experience
Really nice Beach clean. Well maintained
A beautiful place to go out for a solitary walk or a jog. Its also a perfect place to bring your friends or family especially when the weather is good. Moreover, this is the place where I had one of the loveliest conversations ever. I just sat on a bench and talked for hours with a dear cousin while basking in the gentle warmth of the sun and feeling the breeze from the ocean. Surely, a memory that will last a lifetime.
Great boardwalk, great people, walk, jog bike ride,its all good..(.parking a major problem for visitors... residents seem to figure it out)..hummm, all in all nice place to hang out at night and of course during the day..
A great place I the city song large planes landing overhead
Nice boardwalk I wish they had more restaurant Cafe play Brighton Beach
Im in love with this place and the memories I make here.
& cant remember it from years ago!Mustve has my phone on, when passing by!
