The Long Beach boardwalk was reconstructed following significant damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012 using reinforced concrete and tropical hardwood.
Long Beach is known as the 'City by the Sea' and is one of the few barrier island cities in the United States.
The boardwalk promenade is approximately 2.2 miles long, making it one of the longest in the state of New York.
The beach undergoes daily cleaning and maintenance routines during the peak summer months to preserve water quality and sand conditions.
Ocean Beach Park is a focal point of the 2.2-mile long boardwalk in Long Beach, New York. The site features a wide, groomed sand beach fronting the Atlantic Ocean. The wooden boardwalk spans the length of the city, serving as a primary promenade for pedestrians and cyclists. Lifeguards are stationed at designated intervals during the primary beach season. Public restroom facilities and outdoor showers are available for visitor use. The area provides access to a variety of seasonal beach-side concessions. The beach is maintained by the City of Long Beach. It serves as a regional destination for swimming, sunbathing, and ocean-front exercise.
