*Tip: The "MTA Train Time" app is very helpful for navigating the train system! You can also buy tickets on this app

Long Beach Boardwalk/ Beach
The Long Beach Boardwalk is right off the Allegria Hotel and is a great place to go for a walk right along the beach.
If you want to spend time on the Beach the easiest access is right out from the Allegria Hotel on National Blvd. There is a chair rental company "Beach Comfort" that you are able to reserve chairs/ umbrellas with if you wish to do so.
