Candids from Long Beach

We are half way through the Summer of 2010.....

For years, both of us have lived in the vicinity of Long Beach, have had children that lived there in their post graduate years, have gone to the restaurants, have taken walks on the boardwalk, or have taken visitors to see the wide white sandy beach. 

But honestly, we never got around to spending any time absorbing all the fun in sun activities that this south shore island offers.

 Here is a collection of snap shots of the many Long Beach activities we have seen this summer... Enjoy!

 
                                                        Welcome to Long Beach

              Long Beach comes alive on the 2 mile long boardwalk....walkers, joggers, runners, bicyclist....

Peace and quiet without distractions......
