About Long Beach, New York

Long Beach is an oceanfront city in Nassau County, New York, on Long Island. From that time, while the barrier island was used by baymen and farmers for fishing and harvesting salt hay, no one lived there year-round for more than two centuries. In Woody Allen's Zelig (1983), shots of Long Beach were used in some of the movie's scenes. (Wikipedia)
