Long Beach

Long, sandy beach with shade trees, seating for rent, and a lineup of bars, restaurants, and hotels along the shore. The sand is fine and pale, with a gently sloping shoreline and clear water that works for swimmers of all levels. A public swing on the beach is popular for photos. Fire shows run most evenings at various spots along the strip. Sunsets are reliably beautiful. Good for morning walks and runs, with shaded spots to read without burning.
