Long Beach NY Day Trip from NYC – Beach, Boardwalk, Lunch & Bikes
Overview
Thirty-five miles from Times Square, the Atlantic Ocean is waiting. Long Beach, NY, the City by the Sea, is one of the best beach day trips from NYC, and most tourists have no idea it exists. Trade the tourist crowds for a 2.2-mile oceanfront boardwalk, a swim in the Atlantic, and a fresh seafood lunch with the ocean right outside.
This is not a sightseeing tour. It's a fully loaded beach day from New York City: private transport from Times Square (Marriott Marquis), beach admission pass, chairs and umbrella, shared bicycles, lunch at Riptides Restaurant, and ice cream at Famous Marvel, all covered. Wave boards, cornhole, volleyball, and an optional surf intro with a Surf School. Nothing extra. Nothing missing.
Planning romantic day trips from NYC, a family summer escape, or an affordable Long Island beach day? Long Beach is the answer. Groups are kept small so every guest gets the day they expected and will remember.
