🏖️ Long Beach, NY｜Uncrowded & Perfect for Summer

📍 Long Beach, New York While everyone heads to Coney Island, I quietly took the train to Long Beach— Clean sands, gentle sea breeze, laid-back surfers, a creamy wooden boardwalk, and a sunset that feels within arm’s reach. So soothing! 🌥️ 🚉 How to Get There: Take the LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) from Penn Station—about 1 hour direct. The beach is right outside the station! Super convenient. 📍 One-Day Itinerary: • Morning: Stroll or jog along the Boardwalk 🌊, watch the sea breeze sweep into the town. • Noon: Enjoy seafood at a beachside restaurant 🦞. Recommended: seafood tower + lemonade—super refreshing! • Afternoon: Sunbathe, take photos, watch surfers 🏄. The beach is ultra-clean, and the sea-sky backdrop is perfect for pics. • Evening: Long Beach’s sunset is incredibly romantic 💖—the pink-purple sky looks photoshopped! • Night: Head back to NYC with plenty of time—a perfectly paced day! 👗 Outfit Suggestions: • Floral dresses, slip dresses, white shirts + jeans—effortlessly chic for the seaside. • Accessorize with a straw hat, sunglasses, or a shell necklace for that "island life" vibe 🎀. • Keep it light and natural—it photographs better! 📷 Photo Hotspots: • The Boardwalk: Strong light/shadow contrast + lines—perfect for outfit shots. • Surfing Zone: Capture the dynamic energy—great for crowd scenes too. • Seaside Wooden Railings + Backlit Sunset: Magazine cover material! 📸 • Colorful houses, cute shopfronts, and footprint trails on the sand—all photogenic! #LongBeachNY #NYBeachVibes #HiddenGemsNYC #DayTrip #EastCoastSummer #BeachOOTD #SummerAesthetics
