Long Beach, NY Overview

From its roots as a resort for the affluent New York vacationers, Long Beach has evolved over the decades into a unique residential and beach community just 45 minutes by passenger rail from New York City.  Often called the "Gold Coast," Long Beach is actually a barrier island on the south shore of Long Island. One of only two cities in Nassau County, it boasts five miles of white sand beaches and an impressive 2.5 mile boardwalk.  Homes are never more than a few hundred yards from the ocean, since the city is only a half-mile wide at the widest point.  The bay side is lined with single family homes and private docks, although waterfront homes also hug the canals that connect Long Beach with the bay. The real heyday of Long Beach dates back to the 1920s, but much of the city is undergoing a renaissance and housing options are diverse.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
