Located just south of Long Island in Nassau County, Long Beach was incorporated in 1922, and is nicknamed The City By the Sea.
The City of Long Beach is one of only two cities on Long Island, with a population of about 35,000 people spread across two square miles of land surrounded by water. With the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Reynolds Channel on the other, Long Beach is a beautiful seaside community.
