Vanlife: Long Beach, NY | episode 35 | Be Safe, Have Fun

Not easy, but still a cool place to hang out and skate, surf, kiteboard, and whatever else you'd do on an island.

you can always find a friend in LB....beach community people are the amazing. Best town on Long Island! Yes you can not camp in LB. No skateboards on boardwalk as you can wipe out and shoot your board through some old ladies ankle. Ouchy! ( im a skateboarder as well) Thanks for the video.

[@ScottGerke]

Yea, super friendly people all around! I understand the safety hazards of skateboards, but c'mon, bikes are dangerous too! Can't win em all.

[@gymnastjew3000]

Ohh that’s why everyone on the lb boardwalk was giving me dirty looks today as I was skating 😂

[@savannahmiles222]

my home town! i miss it so much

[@ScottGerke]

Really?! Ah man, what a cool area to visit for sure! First time on Long Island, actually :) Where do you suggest I check out when I go back to visit?!

[@richiewuinschik5774]

It sucks even more here savvanah.I been here since 1968 and it is really become a shite hole.Your not missing anything.

[@doughaman9634]

Great vid bro.......wouldve loved to see some kiting but glad u got a sesh! Hope you didnt just stop at Long Beach.....make sure to come to the east end of long Island! Montauk is amazing and you should not miss it!

[@ScottGerke]

Thanks bud! I didn’t make it out there and now headed north. Quite possibly I’ll check it out on my way back south. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@doughaman9634]

@@ScottGerke Totally different vibe out east.....worth the stop! Great kiting and surfing out here too. If you do come back thru hit me up and I'll try to meet you for a session!

[@ScottGerke]

Douglas Haman man, I wish I had made some time!! I def need to reach out on my way back down :)

DOOM was my dude and he hated long Beach

Your last comment was deleted because of the language, but would you be interested in explaining your comment further? I do see how it was heavily gentrified, which is always uncomfortable to witness. I always have a hard time figuring out how do document the cities I visit, because I don't want to give it a bad reputation, but I do see things that I want to bring to light.

[@aprilwilhow437]

I want to apologize to you. I am sorry for making assumptions. Be safe on your journey. I will be following you and showing support. Please accept my apologies ❤

[@ScottGerke]

I never saw what you previously wrote, but I take it you must be a kind person :)

[@aprilwilhow437]

I was asking questions about Linda and I although they weren't bad but I just needed you to know I was sorry friend.

[@ScottGerke]

Unfortunately, I don’t know any more than the general public :/

[@insightandintuition276]

Where did you park safely there I stayed there one night in my minivan I actually live about a half hour away but I didn't want to drive on my Sabbath and police on my window it was so scary. They said there is no place in Long Beach you are permitted to park overnight and sleep in your vehicle

[@ScottGerke]

There isn't a permitted place. I just parked in the lot where other cars are parked over night between the beaches and houses. It def isn't an easy place to van camp, but if you aren't making noise, it's doable.

[@insightandintuition276]

@@ScottGerke t u Scott. U mean like a parking lot for one of the condos?

[@ScottGerke]

@@insightandintuition276 along East Broadway Street. Runs parallel to the beach and about 2 streets in from the beach.

[@richiewuinschik5774]

Born and raised here 52 years.This place sucks

[@ScottGerke]

I'm def not a fan of the rules on the boardwalk.

[@Wilderness-qq8ek]

Long Island is the Land of NO ! If it's fun you are not allowed to do it !

[@ScottGerke]

Ha, you aren't the first person who has told me that!
