I have family in Long Island and this is why they moved from the city to Long Island cause it’s soooo beautiful, less crowds, peaceful, beautiful homes, etc. Long Island NY has a different vibe then the city.
I can see why they moved to Long Island @Brooklyn New York. I love visiting my friends...we have an annual bbq (not this year due to COVID). It's relaxing and quiet..great for this Manhattanite!
@@sheths WAY too many. LI has gone downhill. "Diversity" has ruined it.Taxes are WAY to high with no jobs. LI is also a dead end street with only ONE way on/off the island and thays through the city
Thanks for the memories. My family emigrated from Manchester England to Long Beach, NY in 1953 when I was 11. Lived there until I went off to college and visited occasonally till my parents retired to Florida in the 1970s. Have since returned for high school reunions and to visit friends who still live in the area. Last visited just before Sandy hit. Much has changed but the city still looks reassuringly familiar. Nice to walk along Park Ave. again. One thing that's changed: a house in Long Beach in 1955 could set you back $12K.
This was pretty cool. I have friends on the island and I always enjoy visiting them when I can. It’s a different vibe then the big city. Long Beach is very beautiful and becoming very diverse, which shows you more people love the beach like environment. Thanks for the video and be safe and take care of yourself.
Thanks Action Kid, you give us something nice to watch considering all the bad news on the tv at the moment. Your doing such a great job and thank you for showing me my favourite city, so lovely.. stay safe Action Kid, from Australia
I have a lot of fond childhood memories from Long Beach 🏖 Used to spend my summer vacations there with my father’s best friend’s family and their kids. Better than spending the summer in NYC.
Great narrated beach walk and tranquil neighborhood traverse. The million dollar homes are quite impressive, many with beautiful gardens. Also, hats off to the Army Corps of Engineers who completed a $130 million Coastal Storm Risk Reduction project in 2019 that widened the beach to include planting of dune grass on the sand dunes which hopefully provides a degree of added protection against future major storms. Delightful summer walk!
All of my childhood and part of teenage years I always had a outing with my mom and dad in long beach we rode from the beginning of long beach to the end stopping for lunch or dinner and walking around I never went swimming there but later on I did walk on the beach when close for the day or season you don't need a pass for that I grew up in farrackaway very near beach 9 we took the car over the bridge I never went by train and when I got older sometimes took the Nassau bus in which you took from farrackaway the beginning of my teens I had friends who lived on long beach that when I took the bus to visit but always got a ride back by car when I hit 18 years old in the 70s my partying years me and my friends or dates or my boyfriend at the time went to disco places in long beach had a lot of fun dancing i remember the disco dance holding hands the man spinning the woman yeah those days were fun hey guys remember when ya wore side burns Shirt unbutton with a cold necklace Somehow I remember hairy chest lol
lived in Long Beach from 1999 - 2006, yes, you needed to buy a yearly pass (or a 10 day pass) to go on the beach from usually Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend - at least from the Boardwalk. some buildings on the boardwalk have their own access and a lot of times no one is checking passes or you can give the person sitting there checking passes a cold drink (can of soda, bottle of Snapple) and they will look the other way or not punch your 10 pass card.
Awesome, my grandparents in-law lived in the second to last dark brick apartments before you headed back up to the boardwalk . Their unit was 3/4 up and had the ocean side balcony. They were there probably over 30 years. The view from their balcony was beautiful and the sound of waves never stopped. Front row seat to the ocean 24/7/365. And my ex-wife was born in Long Beach until 6 years old and then Monticello. It was funny, my ex had zero NYC/LI/NJ accent but you couldn't ever understand what her family was saying as they had it so think you would think it was a parody. Early on my ex had to interpret what the hell they were saying.
love it! this is my go-to spot. too bad stupid crowds ruined my late-night rides on the boardwalk because of their massive un-social distanced gathering last week. now it closes at 9pm
i love your videos and you have a lovely personality. I live in LB right in the neighborhood you walked. Someday you may want to walk the west end of LB that has a hip flavor young people love, especially surfers. Anyway stay healthy my friend!
elizabeth green Ok I get what you’re saying. I’m just saying I grew up in Nassau and have been to Long Beach. It’s nothing special and has its seedy pockets
To those viewers who are not familiar with Long Island: Long Island is a Island East of Manhattan. New York City has 5 Burroughs: Manhatten (this is what people typically call "the city") Bronx, which is north of "the city" originally named for the family who owned the land, Staten Island, which is and island sourh of "the city", Queens which is east of "the city" and has LaGuardia airport (named after one of the Mayors - Fiorella LaGuardia) and JFK airport and Brooklyn (or Kings county). Both Queens & Brooklyn are physically located on Long Island. There is a major road called Cross Island Parkway (in NY Parways are ONLY for cars, no commercial traffic) that is on the New York City boundaries. Once you go east if the Cross Island Parkway you enter Nassau County. The area typically known as "Long Island" has two counties: Nassau & Suffolk. Long Island was once known as an aviation mecca, where Charles Linbergh left for his historic flight to Paris. Long Island also had very large aviation companies Fairchild who made planes like the A-10 & Grumman who built the Lunar Excersion Module that went to the moon in 1969. Long Island or LI also was home to Sperry corp. Who was a large defense contractor that developed radar, submarine navigation systems and weapons control systems. These companies employeed 100s of thousands of people with Grumman alone had over 85,000 employess working round the clock. Slowly these companies left LI or went out of business. Other large companies also left the island becuase of high taxes. There was a lot of engineering and manufacturing talent that also left becuase of thier jobs left. This left a huge void of real jobs. Not to mention the hundreds if small supporting companies that closed as well, even resteraunts, dinners, etc had to close because of all the business that were run 24/7 were gone. Most if the people on LI either work in NYC or have retail jobs. The North Shore of Nassau county has always been a weslthy area. This is known as the "Gold Coast". The railroad tycoon who owned the NY railways - Vanderbilts had a mansion in the "Gold Coast" Suffolk county has an area known as "The Hamptons" which is the home is the rich and famous. The south shore of Long Island has many many ocean beaches and in fact one if the largest beaches (Jones Beach) was built by Robert Moses. Suffolk also has a large beach named after him. Jones beach WAS a huge beautiful beach with boardwalks, restraints, salt water pool, and many many activities. All the employees of the beach (which js a state park) wore white bell bottom pants, white shirts and a white navy hat. Robert Moses has also built many other parks on LI and also the parkway that connected them all. Robert Moses was smart to realise that he didnt want his parks to be over run with people from the city, so he purposely made all the bridges of the parkways low, so only cars could get through. LI also had toll booths on the Southern parkway near the town of Valley Stream and charged $0.10 for each car. Now the toll booths are taken down and this area is where NY state police have a presence. LI is just a bedroom community now, hardly anyone knows thier neighbors anymore and taxes and crime are forever rising. There is only 1 or two shopping malls that are doing ok. Middle class is dwindling rapidly and so is the tax base. The once beautiful beaches are over run with people who just dont care. They come to the beach with cheap Styrofoam coolers they get from 7-11, load it with ice, beer, and food, and then just walk away when they go home. The seagulls pick at the Styrofoam to get at the garbage and them the trash just litters the beach. They even leave thier cheap broken. Each chairs on the beach as well. I see diapers, cans, bottles, empty food containers, tons of plastic all over the beach. These people expect someome ELSE to clean up their garbage. Things that were once beautiful are ruined and destroyed by these people. This is what Robert Moses feared most. This is what sort of people Robert Moses didnt want in his parks. These are dirty disgusting people. This is what has ruined Long Island. No one wants to live anyplace near them. Towns which were VERY nice places to live such as Hempstead, Westbury, Freeport, Roosevelt, Wyandanch, etc are pure garbage now. In sone of those areas gunshots are frequently heard, graffiti is abundant and places are run down and in disrepair. Who wants to sink money into an area that the residents dont give a damn. This was NEVER like this in the 50s & 60s. There are some nice communities still some along the shorelines and they want to keep it that way. I cant blame them, they pay some of the highest taxes in the country. They dont want trash in thier neighborhood. Its not racist its fact. Look at what they did to the previously nIce neighborhoods. Its a shame to see it all crumble away like that. Is towns like Hicksville are going to be destroued as well. I LOVE long island, but glad to be away from such garbage.
There is an ocean town in southern California named Long Beach. The Queen Mary ship is docked there. Thank you for showing us Long Beach, NY. It looks like a beautiful place to live. IDK why they blocked off benches when they are so big and so far apart... The "Marry Me" sign was so cool. I'd be curious to see this same area in the dead of winter.
Stephanie Stearns I used to live in this Long Beach, and have visited the Long Beach in California and spent a night at the Queen Mary! Glad to have been to both long beaches!
Passei minha infância indo para esse lugar quando morei em Long Island , morei em Carle Place , tive como moradores locais e colegas de escola as lendas da guitarra Joe Satriani e Steve Vai .de vez em quando nos encontramos em algum show neste mundão. Abraço! Boas energias!
Long Beach è un luogo bellissimo. Il tipico luogo dove le persone in pensione possono trovare quella quiete e tranquillità che la grande città non può concedere.
Wow Ken! I remember my childhood in Long Beach and Jones Beach at summertime . .i’m waiting for a walk at Jones Beach or Asbury Park NJ ... Who knows ...take care Ken! Stay safe!
Nicely done..how was the 7:23 LIRR train, ActionKid, was there sufficient room between passengers? That train is usually crowded. Plenty of subway ride videos, but hard to find any footage of LIRR train rides during the pandemic. Wish you'd taken some footage of the train ride too. Glad you had a good time and thanks for the video.
Nice boardwalk. The roads though are worse than I expected to see near a major city in the US. In Ireland we complain about our city and burbs road surfaces, but we have it better than you do.
Great video, i live about 15 minutes from long beach, recently found a way under the boardwalk great way to scare people 😂😂 also we pronounce it mar-vel and it really is better then your average soft serve
"I'm feeling a lit bit of sand in my shoes," that's what us from Long Beach say, whether you still live there or not, if you're from Long Beach we say "we have sand in our shoes."
I live in Long Beach and love it because it’s so bright and you can hear the ocean. I’m not one for just sitting on the beach but love the walks along the shore line with the waves breaking on my feet. Disappointing seeing so many people,even police, without masks on the boardwalk. Great sunrises and sunsets !
Taxes are almost 10k on my single family house. And residents pay almost 100 for the beach pass. Non residents pay a bit more for the season pass. Day pass I think is 15 dollars now
This was my home, I got moved outta here because I met someone out of state and sure the prices are way better out of state I mean I actually afford rent in Ohio but the feeling,the people,the beach everything about long beach I just miss it so much I feel like I could be homeless in longbeach and still be happier there than I am in Ohio. Maybe its just because this is my home but its how I feel
You missed out a lbout a mile down the boardwalk Is a building finished in 1928 called lido beach towers. A ton of famous people and stories check it out
@@ActionKid I think that comment meant the WEST END.. maybe you'd want to come back some time and walk the west end. A lot of people consider the West End to be the true Long Beach. Its very crowded for a suburb, and lots of bars and restaurants.
Long Beach has certainly gotten a lot more upscale in recent years, along with the south shore in general, popular area for people in the finance sector, but mostly whites, its not very diverse. The South Shore is just a really popular area on Long Island. Its amazing how Long Beach has rebounded after Sandy, but it's inevitable there will be another big storm, perhaps worse. Hopefully those new dunes will offer better protection. Unfortunately the towns in the middle of the Island like Hicksville and Mineola aren't seeing this kind of life and business investment, pretty much ghost towns here not much life except for the homeless hanging around (like Midtown these days). I can only guess the south shore areas like Long Beach will become even more coveted as more people move out of NYC to escape the crime and pollution. Looks like a nice visit though, in the evening after 5pm I think they stop charging to get on the beach, I'm sure the sea breeze probably kept things cooler there. The south shore is the place to be in summer. I plan on visiting but probably on a weekday when its less crowded. Of course not everything in the middle of the Island sucks, we do have the Pine Barrens, and some nice parks like Bethpage State Park. Since you do bike I'd recommend doing a video on the Bethpage Bike Trail, goes all the way from Bethpage State Park down to Massapequa Preserve. Of course if you want a more abandoned, undeveloped feel there's Edgewood Preserve in Deer Park, they have hiking & mountain biking. But yeah these days it's all about the $outh $hore as I like to refer to it. At least there were no panhandlers at the TVM at the LIRR station, but again its the south shore, we usually have them hanging around in Mineola and Hicksville. But I can see Long Beach being popular for NYC residents to visit by train, the station is just a short walk to the beach with so much around. Jones Beach requires getting off the LIRR in Freeport (not a safe area) and taking a bus. However you can take the LIRR to Wantagh, there's a bike path from Cedar Creek Park that goes to Jones Beach.
REAL TALK HELLO AKK HOW ARE YOU DOING? A LOT OF PLACES YOU GO IN NYC A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN'T GO BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN WOULD HAVE THE COPS CALL IN THEM IT'S REAL SAD 😢 WOW STAY SAFE AND STAY BLESSED 🙏🙏🙏😷😷😷2020
This beach, is the most policed piece of land in america. 5 different government agencies monitor you. They will stop their truck and watch u swim. They will ask what's in your drink. They have dog patrol vehicles on the beach. Sun bathers get ran over every few years due to the police driving so many vehicles on the beach. But the waves are very good, especially when the surf on the rest of long island is too big, and you can park for free and sleep in the car easily enough. You can go on the beach, free if you go before 9am. At 9 they start asking for passes. I'm always in the water by then and then go home when out of the water. And the water, is significantly darker looking then rest of long island, and 4 degrees warmer, in other words not as clean as the rest of long island beaches. But nobody worries about it still fairly clean but it smells more. Not like sewage more like seaweed plants rotting. Studios start at 1600 month and require salary over 100k and perfect credit.
HOME❤. I grew up in long Beach and I had a amazing childhood. So peaceful and relaxing
Boy, the fares went up on the LIRR!
I used to hang out in Woodside and also Sunnyside to go the bars and clubs back in the late 80's and early 90's!
I have family in Long Island and this is why they moved from the city to Long Island cause it’s soooo beautiful, less crowds, peaceful, beautiful homes, etc. Long Island NY has a different vibe then the city.
I can see why they moved to Long Island @Brooklyn New York. I love visiting my friends...we have an annual bbq (not this year due to

Long Beach is one of my favorite beaches in NY !! I am glad it’s reopening to public 😍👌👍
Jones Beach is cool as well!
Glad you came to visit! My family has lived in Long Beach since the 1920’s ❤️
I use to live there and it is the. Same except for wooden walkways to water. Was there after Superstorm Sandy residents must buy pass thanx
Awesome, l love Long Beach Island ,NY.. You should do more videos there😘
I was born (1955) in LB and grew up there till the 70s. My grandparents moved there in the 30s

Shirt unbutton with a cold necklace
Somehow I remember hairy chest lol
lived in Long Beach from 1999 - 2006, yes, you needed to buy a yearly pass (or a 10 day pass) to go on the beach from usually Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend - at least from the Boardwalk. some buildings on the boardwalk have their own access and a lot of times no one is checking passes or you can give the person sitting there checking passes a cold drink (can of soda, bottle of Snapple) and they will look the other way or not punch your 10 pass card.
So Awesome 😍🏃a new place that I have not seen! Thank you so much very enjoyable!! 💞
Long Beach High School
Class of 1988
Wish you could see the transition from the seventies and the eighties up til now.
Thanks for visiting!
Most of my family from my dads side live there 🥰
It was so nice of you to take us through the neighborhood and to the boardwalk!! You put alot of work into this video.thanks!

Yes, they are very nice homes.

Yes! Asbury Park is cool! The Boardwalk , Stone pony, wonder bar etc
Gilson Anderson The boardwalk
You are walking the walk I did at least twice a week
The ice cream place just recently got opened. Not in 1951. Lol
You didn’t mention that they charge you $15 per person for a daily beach pass
Marvel been in Lido since 1951
LB is not LIDO. Plus this particular location just recently opened;)
the boardwalk location just opened.
Nice boardwalk. The roads though are worse than I expected to see near a major city in the US. In Ireland we complain about our city and burbs road surfaces, but we have it better than you do.
Never being to a ticket machine before, thanks for showing.
My 1 family would cost you about 650k. The apartments you walked by are all basically a half million or so for a 1 or 2 bedroom.
Great video, i live about 15 minutes from long beach, recently found a way under the boardwalk great way to scare people 😂😂 also we pronounce it mar-vel and it really is better then your average soft serve

I’m not one for just sitting on the beach but love the walks along the shore line with the waves breaking on my feet. Disappointing seeing so many people,even police, without masks on the boardwalk. Great sunrises and sunsets !
Hey. I live in Long Beach. It is a very nice town. Hope l meet you in person someday if you come back to Long Beach for a visit!
Did you walk to the Fishing Pier at Magnolia Blvd @ the bay? Ice Skating Rink & skateboard park. Good fishing year round at that pier.
Taxes are almost 10k on my single family house. And residents pay almost 100 for the beach pass. Non residents pay a bit more for the season pass. Day pass I think is 15 dollars now
My kids live in Long Beach. What I noticed, despite the signs, is how few people wore a mask!!
This was my home, I got moved outta here because I met someone out of state and sure the prices are way better out of state I mean I actually afford rent in Ohio but the feeling,the people,the beach everything about long beach I just miss it so much I feel like I could be homeless in longbeach and still be happier there than I am in Ohio. Maybe its just because this is my home but its how I feel
I love weddings 😍 even if it's a stranger 😂 I'd go if I could
Nice place.
Great memories
Thank You!
NICE BEACH AK.
GET MARRIED ON THE BEACH !!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️
I come from Rockaway but I don’t litter. Now you have sand in your shoes.
😁😂
You missed out a lbout a mile down the boardwalk Is a building finished in 1928 called lido beach towers. A ton of famous people and stories check it out
Thanks Action kid, Very Informative
LI is beautiful but I live in Hempstead...I definitely want to move out to maybe one of the boroughs or at least visit
This was helpful. I am looking for NY towns that might be similar to California and this seems fairly similar for east coast standards
When I moved to LA from Long Beach, NY Manhattan Beach reminded me of Long Beach NY to give you an idea
15:53 nice view!
awwww, I got engaged at the beach in Evanston, IL at the Northwestern Univ campus
Nice video, do you have from Amytiville or Massapequa?
Long Island reminds me of New England.
I think that well decorated lawn belongs to the Williams
Residents have to buy a pass, but it is cheaper than non-resident passes. They usually buy season passes
Until people see their own neighborhood on video, they never knew how good it looks. Because of NYC Nassau and Suffolk economy is A1.
You should’ve walked in Long Beach’s east end...There are a lot of restaurants and shops there.
I can’t do everything in one video 😂
@@ActionKid I think that comment meant the WEST END.. maybe you'd want to come back some time and walk the west end. A lot of people consider the West End to be the true Long Beach. Its very crowded for a suburb, and lots of bars and restaurants.
The Boardway was distroyed in 2012
*boardwalk *destroyed
You should walk the west end
Long Beach has certainly gotten a lot more upscale in recent years, along with the south shore in general, popular area for people in the finance sector, but mostly whites, its not very diverse. The South Shore is just a really popular area on Long Island. Its amazing how Long Beach has rebounded after Sandy, but it's inevitable there will be another big storm, perhaps worse. Hopefully those new dunes will offer better protection. Unfortunately the towns in the middle of the Island like Hicksville and Mineola aren't seeing this kind of life and business investment, pretty much ghost towns here not much life except for the homeless hanging around (like Midtown these days). I can only guess the south shore areas like Long Beach will become even more coveted as more people move out of NYC to escape the crime and pollution. Looks like a nice visit though, in the evening after 5pm I think they stop charging to get on the beach, I'm sure the sea breeze probably kept things cooler there. The south shore is the place to be in summer. I plan on visiting but probably on a weekday when its less crowded. Of course not everything in the middle of the Island sucks, we do have the Pine Barrens, and some nice parks like Bethpage State Park. Since you do bike I'd recommend doing a video on the Bethpage Bike Trail, goes all the way from Bethpage State Park down to Massapequa Preserve. Of course if you want a more abandoned, undeveloped feel there's Edgewood Preserve in Deer Park, they have hiking & mountain biking. But yeah these days it's all about the $outh $hore as I like to refer to it. At least there were no panhandlers at the TVM at the LIRR station, but again its the south shore, we usually have them hanging around in Mineola and Hicksville. But I can see Long Beach being popular for NYC residents to visit by train, the station is just a short walk to the beach with so much around. Jones Beach requires getting off the LIRR in Freeport (not a safe area) and taking a bus. However you can take the LIRR to Wantagh, there's a bike path from Cedar Creek Park that goes to Jones Beach.
Great video. I wish that you had walked to the water's edge.
Do Asbury Park Please , I Grew Up There In The 80's . . .

Thank you so much for this. Was the train very busy? I have been wanting to go out there, but a bit hesitant about the LIRR right now...
LISA, u r so beautiful. 😍💕💖Much love from INDIA🇮🇳
Places like this are good to visit for like a week during the summer, but I would never want to live there even if I could afford it.
I live in long beach it's very nice
nice video, very useful.
More beautiful than nyc
Nice wonderful 🥰
That big Brick house the Kirbys lived there
This beach, is the most policed piece of land in america. 5 different government agencies monitor you. They will stop their truck and watch u swim. They will ask what's in your drink. They have dog patrol vehicles on the beach. Sun bathers get ran over every few years due to the police driving so many vehicles on the beach. But the waves are very good, especially when the surf on the rest of long island is too big, and you can park for free and sleep in the car easily enough. You can go on the beach, free if you go before 9am. At 9 they start asking for passes. I'm always in the water by then and then go home when out of the water. And the water, is significantly darker looking then rest of long island, and 4 degrees warmer, in other words not as clean as the rest of long island beaches. But nobody worries about it still fairly clean but it smells more. Not like sewage more like seaweed plants rotting. Studios start at 1600 month and require salary over 100k and perfect credit.
