Hula Hooping By the Shore

A photo gallery of scenes in Long Beach.

Long Beach Patch's View Finder photo gallery aims to capture the many interesting and attractive scenes throughout the bustling beach town, with its distinct neighborhoods and diverse population.

Today’s gallery is aimed at college-bound girls who exhibited their hula-hoop prowess on the beach during the Quiksilver Pro New York surfing competition on National Boulevard beach in early September.

If you have photos of city scenes that you would like us to consider for our View Finder gallery, please email them — along with descriptive captions — to josephk@patch.com. Photos must be sent with the photographer's permission.
