• Fun Fact Spotlight
Long Beach fits plenty of shoreline into a small city.

The City of Long Beach covers only about five square miles, but it has approximately 3.5 miles of beach and a 2.1-mile boardwalk overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Long Beach Superblock Nears Full Occupancy

For decades, the Long Beach Superblock was defined by abandoned plans, public disputes and repeated delays. The oceanfront property now tells a very different story, with its residences and commercial spaces nearing full occupancy and a once-stalled development becoming part of everyday life in the city.

Coram Golf Course Bets on Brunch and Robots

Pine Ridge is trying to become a destination even for people who never pick up a golf club. A renovated gastropub and Sunday brunch are only the beginning, with plans involving food-delivery robots and a technology-driven golf experience that could give the longtime course an entirely new identity.
