HOME❤. I grew up in long Beach and I had a amazing childhood. So peaceful and relaxing

I love your videos because I love NYC.

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.

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.

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

Awesome, l love Long Beach Island ,NY.. You should do more videos there😘

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.

Another dream location I would never have seen without Action Kid! Thanks from England Ken!

I grew up not too far away from Long Beach... I miss Long Island but I love it here in Florida too much.

Thank you for showing us round Long Beach AK. Much appreciated.... Beautiful homes in the area... I hope the lady/gentleman said "Yes"... 😊

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!

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.

So Awesome 😍🏃a new place that I have not seen! Thank you so much very enjoyable!! 💞

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!

Love Long Beach...I have good friends who live there near the Jamaica Bay. Enjoyable video, AK!

Long Beach is one of my favorite beaches in NY !! I am glad it’s reopening to public 😍👌👍

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!

Glad you came to visit! My family has lived in Long Beach since the 1920’s ❤️

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!

Love your channel can you do a walk in Freeport In Long island the Nautical mile area

I was born (1955) in LB and grew up there till the 70s. My grandparents moved there in the 30s

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.

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

this beach area is awesome, so good i did asked you to do a tour there.

I've always heard that Long Beach is so nice. Thanks for sharing this! I now feel like I've been there!! Thanks AK 👌💙

Very good Long Beach !!! 👍👏👌😀and Rido Beach ⛱ good 👍 too 😎👌😀😋👍

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.

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

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 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

Most of my family from my dads side live there 🥰

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.

great sushi there, lots of places = competition = low prices and best quality on Long Island

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.

Very nice video of Long Beach.The City by The Sea. Come back again. Today is Jan 17 2022.

Wonderful walk

Please walk Asbury park New Jersey it’s an hour train ride from ny

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!

Love it 😍

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.

those condos are beautiful !

Thanks for the video. I wasn’t sure what to expect since this is an annual trip from Manhattan for me.

Nice place.

Home of a lot of New York Islanders fans cool very nice area relaxing.

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!

My city

Thanks for taking the time to create the video and share.

Never being to a ticket machine before, thanks for showing.

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!

Some big Great Whites patrol off that coast :)

Ok, my grandmother had a bungalow on Wyoming Ave and we used to spend our summers there when we were kids.

Those are some beautiful houses!

These are massive homes with backyards, a rarity in NYC

I liked the houses close long island beach , the streets looks like Beverly Hills in L.A

Did you walk to the Fishing Pier at Magnolia Blvd @ the bay? Ice Skating Rink & skateboard park. Good fishing year round at that pier.

There are both resident and non-resident day passes available, residents can buy season passes as well

Brazil.... sempre acompanhando!!!! Belo trabalho

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

My kids live in Long Beach. What I noticed, despite the signs, is how few people wore a mask!!

This was my families home area and yes bvery expensive to live here

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

You are walking the walk I did at least twice a week

I love weddings 😍 even if it's a stranger 😂 I'd go if I could

Nice video, do you have from Amytiville or Massapequa?

Do Asbury Park Please , I Grew Up There In The 80's . . .

15:53 nice view!

I come from Rockaway but I don’t litter. Now you have sand in your shoes.

Thanks Action kid, Very Informative

Great memories Thank You!

"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."

This was helpful. I am looking for NY towns that might be similar to California and this seems fairly similar for east coast standards

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.

NICE BEACH AK. GET MARRIED ON THE BEACH !!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️

👍🏼 What do you recommend for shoes or sneakers, AK?

You should walk the west end

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

LI is beautiful but I live in Hempstead...I definitely want to move out to maybe one of the boroughs or at least visit

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 wish that you had walked to the water's edge.

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...

I think that well decorated lawn belongs to the Williams

Nice wonderful 🥰

My cousin lives there

awwww, I got engaged at the beach in Evanston, IL at the Northwestern Univ campus

You should’ve walked in Long Beach’s east end...There are a lot of restaurants and shops there.

Long Island reminds me of New England.

The Boardway was distroyed in 2012

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 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

Hey action kid have you ever been to the meat rack

nice video, very useful.

More beautiful than nyc

Can NYc residents use the beach? Or thag is not possible?

I live in long beach it's very nice

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.

Until people see their own neighborhood on video, they never knew how good it looks. Because of NYC Nassau and Suffolk economy is A1.

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.

That big Brick house the Kirbys lived there

What time of the day was this video filmed?

Residents have to buy a pass, but it is cheaper than non-resident passes. They usually buy season passes
