Long Beach, NY- 2006
Residents and tourists thrive on the boardwalk in this beautiful city, all year round. This is what Long Beach is all about: surfing, paddle boarding, people walking with babies in strollers/carriages, seniors taking steps in walkers or sitting in wheelchairs, bicyclists, runners and walkers have one thing in common: they all love the beach, the sun, the water, the healthy negative ions. Being in Long Beach always makes you feel good.
The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy has rendered the city of Long Beach closed. The damage in the millions, to homes, businesses and schools. Sometimes 3ft of sand covers cars. The boardwalk, the very popular, famous and beloved boardwalk along the ocean, was blown throughout the city. People found boardwalk parts on their lawn, in their backyards.
