A letter from the

publisher Welcome to this year’s Long Beach Community Guide, your essential resource for everything that makes the City by the Sea such a vibrant, welcoming and one-of-a-kind place to live. We’re proud to bring you this annual supplement to the Long Beach Herald, celebrating the energy, spirit and everyday life of our coastal community. Whether you’ve called Long Beach home for generations or are newly settling in, this guide is your invitation to explore all the experiences, resources and connections that define our city.

Stuart Richner This year’s cover captures the unmistakable spirit of Long Beach — the energy, warmth and coastal charm of our community.

From the shoreline to neighborhood streets, it reflects residents embracing the surf, sand and vibrant atmosphere that make this city so distinctive. As we all know, Long Beach is a truly special place — one that continues to evolve and shine brightly.

Inside, you’ll find a crafted look at everything that makes our city thrive — from the beach, parks and cultural programming to restaurants, schools, libraries and organizations that shape daily life.You’ll also discover local favorites and hidden gems that even longtime residents may not have explored yet, offering new ways to experience a familiar hometown.

No conversation about Long Beach is complete without recognizing the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce. Through its leadership, events and year-round support of businesses and initiatives, the chamber plays a vital role in keeping the city’s economy strong and its community spirit connected.

Think of this guide as your “owner’s manual” to Long Beach — a resource for discovering, reconnecting and celebrating everything that makes life here by the ocean so unique. The character and history of our city are reflected throughout these pages, reminding us why so many are proud to call Long Beach home.

This edition is published in partnership with the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, and we are honored to continue our collaboration in sharing the stories, people and places that define our city. The Long Beach Herald remains committed to being your source for local news and information, and we hope this guide inspires you to enjoy the very best of Long Beach all year long.

Thank you for reading, and here’s to another great summer — and year ahead — in the City by the Sea.

A special supplement to the long beach

A messAge from

the Chamber of CommerCe To Our Neighbors, Businesses and Friends,

A

s the warmth of the sun returns to our shores, The Long Beach Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to welcome you to the 2026 beach season. Our "City by the Sea" is more than just a destination; it is a vibrant, resilient community that continues to evolve and flourish through the collective spirit of our residents and local businesses. The Chamber is proud to be part of that growth, championing the unique character that makes LBNY special.

Life in LBNY is filled with signature moments — taking in a sunset on a bike ride along our 2.1-mile boardwalk, surfing a world-class wave, enjoying a freshly brewed beer at one of our breweries, strolling a boardwalk fair, or catching an art exhibit or jazz ensemble at the Long Beach Public Library.

The Chamber is committed to making the LBNY experience a dynamic one for our businesses, residents and visitors. We are proud to support and/or promote local staples like: PorchFest, Arts in the Plaza, the Kennedy Plaza Farmers Market, Electric Light Parade, Irish Day, free movies on the beach and concerts under the stars. When culture and art thrive, so does commerce.

And these events are where our community’s camaraderie shines.

The Chamber’s core mission remains steadfast: to serve as a powerful advocate for LBNY businesses and to keep our local economy thriving. We ensure our entrepreneurs have a voice heard by local and state government officials. At our general membership meetings, business owners meet community leaders, get city updates on events, laws and policies affecting 14

them, and enjoy networking with fellow entrepreneurs. The Chamber also bolsters its advocacy with real investment. Last year, the Chamber spent over $20,000 on TV, print, and digital campaigns to keep local consumers "shopping local" in LBNY. We are always focused on the future and development of Long Beach. This spring the Chamber introduced the “Long Beach Business Challenge,” a high-stakes competition where aspiring entrepreneurs and established businesses can win cash prizes to transform their innovative concepts into reality. The Chamber also strives to keep you informed and entertained with our annual events, from our "Meet the Candidates" online videos to help voters make informed decisions on Election Day, to hosting the Chamber’s beloved Boardwalk Vendor Fair.

Our volunteer Board of Directors has one goal: ensuring Long Beach remains the premier place to live, work, eat, and play on Long Island.

As we look to the year ahead, we invite you to take an active role in our city. Stay connected and informed by subscribing to our free e-newsletter, following us on social media, visiting our website, and attending one of our general membership meetings, typically held on the third Monday of each month. If you are looking to make an impact in LBNY, we encourage you to become a Chamber member. Join us in shaping the future of our incredible city. Together, we can continue building a stronger, even more vibrant Long Beach, because when our city thrives, we all do.

Warm regards, Board of Directors, The Long Beach Chamber

Long Beach Public Schools prepare students for success in college, careers and beyond.

Students benefit from a rigorous academic program that includes Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and dual enrollment coursework — all accessible through a self-selection process. These opportunities allow students to pursue advanced studies and earn college credit while still in high school. Long Beach also offers an array of career and technical education pathways in such diverse areas as

Beyond academics, students engage in a wide range of extracurricular opportunities in athletics, the arts and leadership, creating a well-rounded educational experience.

A Hub For Lifelong Learning

recreation. At the Main Library, visitors can find author talks, film screenings, craft workshops, technology help sessions and book discussions designed for a wide range of ages and interests. Many of these programs are free and drop-in friendly, reinforcing the library’s role as an accessible gathering place rather than just a quiet reading space.

Engaging Young Minds

Rooted in the idea of lifelong learning, the library system provides year-round programming for children, teens and adults, alongside traditional services such as lending books, digital media access, study spaces and public computers. Across all three locations, the focus remains consistent: to meet the evolving needs of a diverse coastal community.

Youth programming is a major focus, with story times, early literacy activities, STEM-based workshops and seasonal events helping younger patrons build skills through play and creativity. Teen programs often include college prep support, creative writing groups and volunteer opportunities, while adult offerings range from job readiness workshops to wellness and arts-based classes.

Programs For Every Interest

Residents can take part in children’s activities, seasonal crafts, reading groups and small-group educational sessions. Its waterfront setting makes it a popular stop for families and yearround locals who value a neighborhood-based library experience.

In the West End, the branch’s compact storefront space serves as a vibrant community outpost, offering regular children’s programs, craft activities, movie screenings and technology access. Despite its smaller footprint, it remains a busy and welcoming hub, especially for families in the surrounding beachside neighborhood.

Beyond The Building Beyond in-person events, the library system continues to expand its digital services, offering e-books, audiobooks, streaming options and online learning tools. These resources allow patrons to engage with the library from home, extending its reach well beyond its physical walls.

A System That Reflects Its Community Together, the three locations form a unified system that reflects the character of Long Beach itself — active, community-driven and deeply connected. Whether through a children’s story time, a job skills workshop or a casual afternoon of reading, the Long Beach Public Library remains a steady presence in the daily life of the city.

EATS and SWEETS Atlantic Beach, meanwhile, presents a quieter but diverse dining mix. While smaller in scale, it features a blend of casual takeout spots, delis and more upscale restaurants, including Italian seafood and gastropub-style menus.

The influence of nearby Five Towns communities is evident, particularly in the availability of kosher dining and traditional Jewish deli fare, alongside classic American and European-inspired cuisine. Across all three communities, what stands out is the accessibility and variety packed into a relatively small geographic area. Whether it’s a quick breakfast before a beach day, a casual lunch on the boardwalk or a polished dinner overlooking the water, the South Shore’s dining scene offers options for nearly every taste, occasion and budget — all with a distinctly coastal feel.

While, nearly impossible to list the vast options, here are some of our quick picks.

Long Beach Art League The Long Beach Art League has served the community for over 70 years. It was initially formed by longtime resident Leona Post and a small group of friends and has since grown from a handful of members into an organization of over 100 diversified artists.

Over the years, the Art League has dedicated itself to maintaining and promoting creativity and proficiency in the arts, while helping its members realize their goals. It supports its members by fostering memberships in other community art and cultural organizations and participates in art exhibits across Long Island and in Queens.

In addition to maintaining four galleries across Long Beach, the Art League promotes art literacy at schools and organizations throughout the city. It also sponsors city events and workshops introducing art to the community — including the Beach Fine Art Expo, which attracts folks from the metropolitan New York area.

Long Beach Arts Council When Long Beach residents gathered in Kennedy Plaza for the annual tree lighting, one of the evening’s most memorable touches was the display of seashell ornaments collected from local beaches by students from East Elementary School and Lindell Elementary School. Helping bring that community project to life was Long Beach Council for the Arts, also known as LBNY-Arts, an 11-member volunteer city board dedicated to championing the arts through programs, events and public initiatives.

The council hosts and supports a wide variety of events throughout the year. During Earth Week, it presents the weeklong “Earth Love LB” celebration, spotlighting artists who transform discarded ocean materials into creative works. The organization also sponsors hands-on workshops, public art exhibits and fundraisers that bring residents together through creativity.

Surfing: The water sport that helped shape Long Beach’s shoreline

By Aidan Warshavsky

W

e can’t spell, or live, in Long Beach, without the beach. From the neighboring two-mile boardwalk constructed in 1914 — with help from some elephants — and the sight of community and cheer, the beach simply becomes a part of us.

Each summer, thousands of residents and visitors flock to the beach. Whether they’re taking part in city-sponsored programs like movie viewings, the illustrious Michelle O’Neill volleyball tournament, or just soaking up the rays of sunshine, it’s the premier spot in the “City by the Sea.” One thing that makes Long Beach special is its surfing. The watersport attracts residents of all ages and experience levels, whose blood courses with the salt water they glide over. Some might even remember when the city played host to the Quicksilver Pro New 44

York, with Australian Owen Wright winning the event over Kelly Slater, and $300,000.

But Long Beach surfing holds more than just monetary value — it’s a culture.

John Bertinetti, who moved to Long Beach from Brooklyn 43 years ago, spent most of his early surfing days at Riis Park, in Rockaway and Breezy Point. Back then, surfing was regarded as an outlaw sport, with many working odd jobs while pursuing their passion every day.

Looking back to the 1980s, Bertinetti says the surfing scene in Long Beach has become more popular, with surf schools popping up and pro surfers converging on the city.“Long Beach was a well-kept, hidden surfing gem.

Now, everyone comes here.”

Over the years, Bertinetti has watched the culture of the sport he loves transform into something greater, noting that he’s seen more women, Hispanics and Asians, taking to the water with their boards.

“Surfing has no cultural or ethnic bounds,” he says.“Our beach scene is one of community. It’s vibrant, everyone gravitates toward each other.”

While some have moved to Long Beach for its ocean breeze and beach access, like Bertinetti, others have grown up here their entire life. Marvin Weiss, who picked up his first surfboard as an 8-year-old, after purchasing it from Mustache Surf Shop, just over the 2026 - 2027

Long Beach Bridge, in Island Park. Weiss loves the water — he lifeguarded in Long Beach for nearly five decades — and assists Elliot Zuckerman, a Long Beach-based surf instructor, teach surf classes for children with special needs during the summer.

Despite being diagnosed with Parkinsons seven years ago, Weiss can’t wait to jump in the water.“The beach to me has always been grounding,” he says.

What was once considered an outlaw sport has become part of the city’s identity, shaping the shoreline with a spirit of adventure and a legacy that continues to grow across generations.

At the heart of that story are the Skudin brothers, Will and Cliff, two of Long Beach’s most recognized surfers. Will, of course, has competed on the national stage, but both brothers have stayed closely tied to their hometown through Skudin Surf, where they introduce young locals to the waves through lessons and mentorship. Their commitment extends beyond the sport itself through Surf For All, a nonprofit offering adaptive surf experiences for teens with disabilities, including cerebral palsy and other physical challenges.

Together, their work reflects how surfing in Long Beach is more than a pastime — it’s a shared culture built on inclusion, community and a lasting connection to the ocean.

ennedy Plaza remains far more than a patch of green space outside City Hall — it continues to serve as the heart of community life in Long Beach, hosting a wide range of events that bring residents together throughout the year. From seasonal festivals to family-friendly gatherings and live entertainment, the plaza offers something for everyone. Here are three standout events to look for in 2026.

A signature Long Beach tradition, the Fall Festival returns each October, transforming Kennedy Plaza into an autumn-themed destination filled with activities for all ages. The centerpiece remains the ever-popular pumpkin patch, which takes over the plaza’s central fountain area and features thousands of pumpkins to choose from.

Beyond the patch, the festival delivers a full slate of attractions, including rides, artisan vendors and seasonal treats. Children can enjoy bounce houses, a carousel, hay rides and other fun things to do. The weekend celebration typically concludes with a lively costume parade, where kids showcase their creativity in a festive procession through the plaza.

Local playgrounds: Where kids can just be kids

By Chris Colucci

N

eed plans for a little one when they're not in school, at the beach, or running down the boardwalk? Pop into one of the local community playgrounds to enjoy first-class equipment and make a day of it. With three recently renovated playgrounds spread across the city, it's easy for anyone to take a play-break whether it's after school, on the weekend or on a random summer evening.

Built with safety, security and fun in mind, each location has an appropriate beach theme with pirate ship sails, sand-swept floors, or friendly fish and ocean life as decorations. Climb, jump and play from sun up to sundown.

The Pacific Park Playground, nestled in the sand, offers plenty of safe and fun equipment.

Chris Colucci/Herald

Pacific Park Playground

Renovated in 2024, the Pacific Park Playground features a newly expanded deck and a large shaded area, making it more comfortable to take a break from playing in the heat to fuel up and rest.

The large, fenced-in play area offers a safe way for kids to enjoy a wide range of equipment from classic swings and slides to an assortment of climbing webs and ropes. Pacific Park stands out from other city playgrounds with its unpaved, all-sand flooring. Being so close to the boardwalk and beach, the natural ground reminds everyone that you are, without a doubt, in Long Beach.

The Magnolia Playground was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, but rebuilt better than ever thanks to community response, outreach and support. Just steps from the boardwalk, this fun-filled area lets kids explore, swing and climb on an assortment of equipment. A wheelchair-accessible swing and differently sized climbers helps to make sure everyone can enjoy the day.

The area is fully fenced in for additional safety and includes multiple tables for a quick snack between play sessions. Being beach-adjacent, it offers a great chance to play before or after a day on the waves.

Clark Street Playground

In the most sizzling summer heat, Clark Street Playground may be one of the most popular spots in town. Not only does it deliver a fully enclosed play area with classic swings and slides, but it features a water element and spray feature to deliver bursts of crisp water from spouts, rings and splash pads.

Tucked away at the end of Clark Street, set in the Canal neighborhood along the bay, the playground delivers year-round fun and a hot weather escape. Ample picnic tables let parents, or tired kids, relax and take in the waterfront views.

Brendan Carpenter/Herald Long Beach residents and elected officials gathered to celebrate the MLK Center's new chapter after it signed a lease agreement with the city in January 2025.

Behind the scenes of service: Our nonprofits at work

By Chris Colucci

L

ong Beach offers more than just incredible views, relaxing beach scenes and outdoor activities. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with a wide range of charitable groups, nonprofit organizations and community engagement.

MLK Center Long Beach's Martin Luther King Center has been a staple of the community since it opened its doors nearly 60 years ago. The center has maintained the message of its namesake through community events, and the annual march down West Park Avenue on MLK Day. The center currently offers a food pantry, after-school tutoring for children, social activities for seniors, sports and fitness facilities and a computer lab, as well as a blossoming music and podcast project for interested youths.

Last year, the center was able to renew its first 54

lease agreement with the city in almost 30 years, ensuring that the neighborhood institution will be able to provide services for years to come.

Kiwanis Club of Long Beach The Kiwanis Club of Long Beach, which was founded in 1957, focuses on helping area children by sending them to summer camps and education programs, organizing food drives and more. The club regularly hosts fundraisers and charitable outreach efforts, from its annual Playing in the Pubs Day, in support of musical programs for local children, to back-to-school supply drives. The annual Women's History Month brunch is another recurring fundraiser that doubles to shine a spotlight on women who impact the local community.

The club also hosts regular safety seminars, often in conjunction with the City of Long Beach, to keep kids safe on the roads — whether it's providing helmets to young ones riding bicycles or teaching teens how

Long Beach Lions Club The Lions Club is an international civic organization with active chapters in villages, towns and cities across Long Island.

In Long Beach, more than 60 members consistently do charitable work throughout the year, raising money for a range of people, groups and goals.

The Lions Club regularly works with food banks and food drives, service dogs for veterans and similar military Courtesy City of Long Beach care, as well as providing Long Beach Kiwanis Club President Marianne Raisig, far left; honorees Ilene Fox, Sammi support to the visually Metzger and Norah Finn Kelleher; and Kiwanis Secretary Rosana Egan at their annual Women's History Month brunch. impaired. The club holds twice-monthly meetings to coordinate members, plan upcoming events and foster teamwork and communication between members.

In July of this year, the Long Beach Lions Club will celebrate its centennial — marking 100 years of serving the community with locally focused activity.

The Long Beach Lions Club hosts numerous fundraisers each year for an array of causes.

Sun, surf and tradition: Every season hits the sand

By Christy Hinko

L

ong Beach continues to shine as both a hometown hub and a seaside destination, offering a packed calendar of events that stretch across every season. From high-energy competitions to creative showcases and community fundraisers, the beach and boardwalk serve as the backdrop for some of the city’s most anticipated traditions. Whether you’re a local or just visiting for the day, these signature beach events capture the spirit of the city.

From sun-soaked summer gatherings to bracing winter traditions, Long Beach’s beach events offer something for everyone — and in 2026, the lineup is as vibrant as ever.

People of all ages dipped into ocean — some for their first Polar Bear Splash, some revisiting for years.

Participants dash into the Atlantic in a show of support and bravery, while spectators bundle up along the shore. Since its late-1990s beginnings, the event has grown into a major winter highlight.

Miles by the ocean

Long Beach races through every season

By Christy Hinko

T

he Long Beach boardwalk remains one of the city’s defining features, offering a scenic, year-round space where residents and visitors can walk, bike, jog or simply take in the ocean views. Stretching along the shoreline, the boards are more than just a backdrop — they’re an active hub for fitness and community events in every season.

Among the most popular traditions are the races that bring runners of all ages to the boardwalk throughout the year. From spring through winter, participants gather at the starting line, ready to take on courses that showcase the best of Long Beach. Here’s a look at four standout races — one for each season — to check out in 2026.

Spring: Race to Remember Held annually over Memorial Day weekend, the City Manager’s Race to Remember continues to honor its founder, Ralph Kaplan, while drawing a strong field of runners each May. The 10-mile race typically begins on West Park 60

Avenue and finishes on the boardwalk, offering a rewarding final stretch with ocean views.With multiple age divisions, the event welcomes both competitive runners and casual participants looking to enjoy a meaningful spring tradition.

Summer: Fabulous 4th of July 4K Independence Day in Long Beach isn’t complete without this high-energy race along the boardwalk.The Fabulous 4th of July 4K, held in memory of Sgt. Sean Ryan, has become a staple of the holiday.The event also includes a children’s 1K, making it a family-friendly morning before the day’s festivities begin. Both races typically start and finish near Laurelton Boulevard, with awards recognizing top finishers across age groups.

Fall: Turkey Trot A longtime favorite, the Turkey Trot continues to be one of Long Beach’s most recognizable races. Held each year around Thanksgiving, the event features both a 10K and a 1K, attracting runners, walkers and families alike.The course traditionally begins near Grand Avenue, winds through city streets and along the boardwalk,

and finishes back by the ocean.With its festive atmosphere and strong community turnout, it’s a highlight of the fall season.

Winter: Snowflake Race Even colder temperatures don’t slow Long Beach’s running community.The annual Snowflake Race, typically a 4-mile run, takes place on a winter morning and honors Joseph F. Farrell. Starting on or near the boardwalk, the race challenges participants to brave the elements while enjoying a crisp oceanfront course. As with the other events, top finishers in each age group are recognized, adding a competitive edge to this chilly tradition.

From warm spring mornings to brisk winter runs, Long Beach’s boardwalk races continue to bring the community together in 2026, offering a unique way to stay active while taking in one of the South Shore’s most iconic settings.

Skye Margies/Herald Tim Miley, Long Beach’s very own, took first place at the 4th of July race in 2025.

Hundreds of runners turn out for the Snowflake Race each year despite the cold.

The Snowflake 4 Mile Race often serves as the beginning of Long Beach’s annual race series.

Founded as the Coalition in 2000, Long Beach AWARE utilizes an approach that focuses on the causes and conditions that support underage substance and alcohol misuse.

It is a community issue, and it is everyone’s problem.

1344439 Today, more than ever, we need to work together as a community to raise awareness about the use/misuse of alcohol, marijuana, opioids - our Long Beach youth deserve nothing less.
