Long Beach NY

About Long Beach NY

Long Beach is New York City's backyard surf break, just a 45-minute train ride from Manhattan. The jetty-lined beach has produced serious talent despite brutal winters and summer crowds. Lincoln Boulevard is the main attraction, hosting events and drawing surfers from across the metro area. When nor'easters or hurricanes hit, Long Beach can produce hollow, punchy waves that reward those who brave the cold. The local scene is passionate and protective—years of dedication in freezing lineups will earn respect faster than any flashy board or expensive wetsuit.
