oh and they can't charge for boardwalk access - that would be impossible since a lot of buildings open up on to it. If you don't like the beach charge, then please go to another beach. It's that simple. Nobody is making you come to Long Beach.
Oh trust me I wouldn't pay $12 to get on that crappy beach anyway. I'm not privileged enough to live on the boardwalk so I must have to pay my way, I guess.
Like it was said before, NY is the only state I can think of that charges for beach access.

Good. Please don't come here than. I beg you not to come here ever again. In fact, Please tell everybody that Long Beach is crappy so less and less people come here. I hate you non-residents. You don't even know how to swim in the ocean.
I live in Long Beach and I can answer this question - the beach is more crowded than ever and that's the problem. The 12 bucks is population control.
Ever since the LIRR cancelled most of the bus service from Freeport to Jones Beach, Long Beach has been really the only option for those who live in NYC.
I have to say, the beach must be at least 30% more crowded than last year on any given day - even when I come home after work on a week day. Residents pay $50 bucks which hasn't changed. To be honest, I wish the city would raise it to $15 for individuals - it's just way too crowded.
You can't have a free beaches in NY. They would get too crowded. We have too many people living here.

Wow, did not know that. I was always OK for them charging something to keep it more of a local crowd. I imaging the NYC people would pay $15 too. i think the family plan used to be $55 when I lived there so that isnt a bad deal.
My building had a passage way under the boardwalk which was occasionally staffed by a kid. We would bring him a few sodas or an ice pop and he would let us get quite a few of us on with just two passes.

I used to live in LB and I hated it.
I work every day in LB and I hate it.
Trust me, if I could get further away from this dopey town I would

I write a Long Beach blog and I get a lot of tips from residents and local government. That is the main reason for the $2 raise from last year. The beach is just way too crowded from the NYC overflow. If you notice, Jones Beach visits have been down because of the lack of public transportation due to the MTA cuts.

Good. Bye bye.
I hate when idiots like you have nothing nice to say. I would never say anything bad about your town. If you didn't like it, then fine.
anyways, I can't wait for the fireworks tonight! And tomorrow morning I'm going to grab my surfboard, hop on my beach cruiser and catch some waves. Where are you going? to the mall or a strip mall? have fun.
