Description


----
Long Beach, New York is a narrow strip of land in Nassau County, New York, bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the South and Reynolds Channel, to the North, East, and West. Up until 1880, Long Beach had basically been a beautiful white sand bar until an entrepreneurial State Senator (William Reynolds) and real estate developer with a "vision" turned it into a resort for the "Rich and Famous" by dredging the bay and filling in the marshes.
----
My stepchildren grew up in Long Beach, and the eldest two middle-aged boys have chosen to raise their own families there.
---
This was Reynolds Channel at sunset. The homes that line the bay in this spot have private docks. It is a short walk to the ocean and the three-mile boardwalk.

Beautiful sunset capture, Michelle, and interesting info. What amazes me is the size of that boat on the dock not in the water! That must be some lift! #9546803

Fabulous sunset colours Michelle. I like how the colours transition from dark to light and back to dark again. The foreground image anchors the scene beautifully with that angle. #9546922

Beautiful capture of the sun setting in Long Beach Michelle. Long Beach has some beautiful beaches on the ocean side. One of my favorites is Lido Beach West. Spent many a weekend there. If you ever visit the wine country out East like Jack we should get in touch! #9546955
