No, long Island is the Island in New York. It is like a vacation, because there is so much to do! You have to visit the New York Skyline, shop, go to the shore, and live the urban life. But it isn't hard to have fun, you just go there to find out!

Jeez Louise! cremedelacre must have fun cutting and pasting travel brochures! Give us all a break, PLEASE.
But back to Long Island. You must think the word "island" means that every island is like Hawaii or Gilligan's Island. I have a feeling you'd be sadly disappointed once you got to THIS island if you're looking for a tropical vacation spot. Go to Florida, Hawaii or California for a great beach vacation and then have a "Long Island Iced Tea" when you get there. That should be all the "Long Island" you need! Have fun!

Cremedalacre must work for the Long Island Chamber of Commerce. Sheesh
Forget Long Island. Come to the City. That is the resort.

Long Island is a middle-class suburbia haven with rich folks living in the Hamptons and on the North Shore. I know I have lived for 35 years in Wantagh, a community eight miles from Jones Beach in Nassau County Long Island. I grew up five miles from the comedian Jerry Seinfeld, five miles from the actor Alex Baldwin and his brothers, in fact, Alex Baldwin babysitted my neighbor when she was young. The list of celebrities born and raised on Long Island goes into the 100s.
Most who come to vacation on Long Island, do so as part of a visit into Manhattan. At the beach I've talked to folks from Japan, India, Denmark, South Africa, Chile, and so on. They visit Manhattan, and for a day or two come to enjoy the Long Island beaches, some of the greatest beaches in the world. If you want to party, the best places during the summer is the Hampton Bays, 20 somethings hang out there all summer, and club hop.
Also you could visit Newsday.com web site to get an idea about local events going on during the time you are here. There are always festivals and free music. If you want to hear music from well known artists, you could go to the Jones Beach Nikon Theatre. It holds about 14,000 and it's situated right next to the Atlantic Ocean at Jones Beach.
Many, many, many things to do on Long Island.

Long Island is by no means a resort island. If you would like to have a good time, grab a cab or take the bus and the E train into Manhattan.

Okay I'm going to tell you the truth Long Island is fun but you have to know people over there so that they can tell you the best things over there but also you need a car or a nice set of walking legs to pretty much get around over there!

I've been there, not much fun unless you're going to The Hamptons....The weekend getaway for the summer for us Manhattanites...Definitely not a resort island, don't be fooled by the name because it's alot less than your mind is expecting and you're setting yourself up for disappointment. If you have no choice, hang out in The Hamptons or in Manhattan.Have fun either way :)

No, it's not an island resort.
What would you LIKE to do?
We have SPLISH SPLASH water park.
We have two sky-diving joints.
We have the 11th largest mall in America (Roosevelt Field)
We have Camp Hero (Montauk Point - the former super-secret military base that's now a public campground - the SAGE radar dish is still standing).
There are local hikes.
Camping.
Beaches (some of them clothing optional - I'd avoid that one).
We're right next to Manhattan.
Any questions? Write me!

There are some fun stuff to do here but honestly it's just plain ol' suburbia. If you want to come here for vacation, there are a lot of nice beaches, a water park, and a few amusement parks along with the usual mini golf and go-karts.
