FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While walking along Long Beach located in Long Beach, New York on the south shore of Long Island. I had just finished photographing a surfing contest and the waters were gettting rougher as I was walking down by the shore of the beach. As I came across this one jetty the waves were pounding it and causing white water to spray in all different directions, even the noise it made was a loud hard crashing noise. As the ocean mist and spray became more and more powerful I did not want to damage my camera so I put my zoom lens on and stepped back several feet and continued to shoot the jetty as the waves continued to crash upon it every few seconds. Long Beach is a city in Nassau County, New York. Just south of Long Island, it is located on Long Beach Barrier Island, which is the westernmost of the outer barrier islands off Long Island's South Shore. As of the United States 2010 Census, the city population was 33,275. It was incorporated in 1922,[1] and is nicknamed The City By the Sea (as seen in Latin on its official seal). The City of Long Beach is surrounded by Reynolds Channel to the north, east and west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.0 square miles (5.2 km2). The city is located on a barrier island off the South Shore of Long Island. It shares the island with Atlantic Beach to the west and Lido Beach and Point Lookout to the east. Within its section of the barrier island, the city takes up the entire north-south span, fronting on both Reynolds Channel to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. A drawbridge, the Long Beach Bridge, connects it to Island Park on the mainland of Long Island. To the west, the Atlantic Beach Bridge, connects the island to Lawrence on the mainland of Long Island. The Loop Parkway, located to the east along the Lido Beach and Point Lookout borders connects the island to Jones Beach.
