Long Beach - It's a beach in Long Island
I loved riding on the LIRR for one hour out to Long Beach. It was my first time being on the LIRR and also my first time going to a beach in New York. I didn't expect it to be anything new or shocking since I grew up on Daytona Beach and went to school near St. Pete Beach, but it was interesting I guess. I'm so conflicted over my feelings for Long Island—I don't even know why I have feelings for Long Island. Maybe I'm destined to do that cliche thing where you leave the city and move out to one of the suburbs. I guess I would go with Long Island.
Long Beach was a totally different beach going experince. You have to pay $10 to go on it, it's extremely crowded, and the strip of condos along the boardwalk were all crummy.
You New Yorkers need to get down to the Florida beaches. You'll never look back!
notice how "Beach" is spelled!
"Wish you were beautiful. The weather is here."

I love taking pictures of water!

It's not so far
This past weekend I left the concrete jungle for those things they call 'The Hamptons.'
There is a lot to be said and not to be said about The Hamptons. One thing is they were not what I expected or envisioned. The beaches are small, the back roads are scary and the shops and restaurants are no place for a poor 21-year-old from the cheap city of Manhattan (Manhattan is cheap compared to The Hamptons).
The sky is low and changes color every few minutes. The air is clean, the bushes are green and if you look closely, you'll see Sarah Jessica Parker shopping for sandals on Main Street.
Can you imagine living a life where you have a place in the city and a place in The Hamptons - two places so different but not so far apart?
