Market Overview
Short-term rentals are banned citywide in Long Beach, New York, so no legal STR inventory exists to measure inside the city. The performance figures below describe the Long Island STR market, a shared regional series, and they should be read as regional benchmarks rather than Long Beach results. Long Beach is an oceanfront city of 34,777 residents on a barrier island in Nassau County, about 25 miles from Manhattan. In September 2026 the Long Island STR market averaged an ADR of $669 and occupancy of 42.2%, producing average monthly revenue of $8,098 per listing. Year over year, occupancy rose 1.3%, ADR rose 13.4%, and revenue rose 11.9%, so rate growth drove nearly all of the gain. Lead time averaged 72 days and the average stay was 4.2 nights. Entire-home listings averaged an ADR of $783, above the all-listings figure. Calendar 2026 through September shows 52.2% occupancy, a $551 ADR, and $7,744 in average monthly revenue, compared with 50.1%, $488, and $6,763 for full-year 2025. Bedroom, channel, and listing-type counts and top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Long Beach, so this profile omits them. The city draws visitors to its roughly 2.2-mile boardwalk and Atlantic beach, but most are regional day-trip and weekend visitors, and beach access requires a paid pass from Memorial Day to Labor Day. For investors, the data shows what comparable Long Island markets earn where rentals operate. It does not describe a legal opportunity inside Long Beach city limits.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are banned citywide in Long Beach, New York. Any dwelling unit rented for fewer than 28 days is classified as a transient rental property and is prohibited throughout the city. No zoning district allows short-term rentals, and the city does not issue permits, licenses, or registrations, so any application would be denied. Enforcement severity is rated strict. The Building Commissioner has stated that short-term rentals are already illegal, and the city has prosecuted violations for years through city court, typically acting on neighbor complaints and police reports about noise, parking, and quality-of-life issues. In August 2024 the City Council debated an ordinance to formally codify the ban. The proposed penalties are fines up to $2,500 and/or up to 15 days in jail for a first offense, and fines up to $30,000 for a fourth or subsequent offense, plus potential jail time. Because rentals are prohibited, city occupancy-tax obligations are moot for would-be operators. Legal lodging in Nassau County, such as hotels, is subject to a 3% county hotel and motel occupancy tax on top of sales taxes. Only leases of 28 days or longer avoid the transient rental classification. Investors should treat Long Beach as a no-go market for stays under 28 days and confirm the current ordinance text with the City of Long Beach before any purchase.
Market Comparison
The Long Island STR market in September 2026 shows high rates on moderate occupancy. ADR of $669 and occupancy of 42.2% produce average monthly revenue of $8,098. Full-year 2026 through September shows 52.2% occupancy with a $551 ADR. Peak-season August occupancy reached 67.4%, while January fell to 35.1%. Year over year, ADR growth of 13.4% and revenue growth of 11.9% outpace occupancy growth of 1.3%. Top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Long Beach, so this profile omits them. Because Long Beach bans rentals under 28 days, no local operator can claim these regional results. Investors seeking legal short-term rental income should look at markets that permit it and verify local rules first.
