    hey! Cape Cod was amazing, Hyannis to be particular! Weather is def better than here, no worries about that :) got up to high 30's celsius some days!
    There was 11 of us (6 boys, 5 girls) and we all got jobs in the end! It can take a couple of weeks to get a job if ur not lucky but u will find one! In Hyannis try the harbour, the mall, and Main Street, especially the Irish pub if there's any guys with ye, good bouncer jobs!

    Accommodation can be expensive. We paid 95 dollars each for our house every week . .but it was worth it

    Provincetown is lovely too, very different, nice little streets and apparently good nitelife. Yarmouth is good too, lots of beach activities there!

    Hiya,

    Yep a few of us are thinking about heading over to long beach for the summer. Iv heard its class. My only worry is the job hunt and if worst comes to worst is it far of a commute into Manhattan should job prospects be better toward the city?
    Also, the accommodation situation; ideally i would like to rent a house for the few months im over there as there are enough of us heading over to fill a house. Can anyone advise the best route to take in terms of sorting out accomodation in the long beach area??

    Thanks. :)

    sweet other people looking at heading to Long Beach. Im heading over with 5 others and really looking strongly at Long Beach, im 22 and the others are all 21. anyone know what the job situation would be like out there? also mr. chow its like an hour on the train into central Manhattan, and they only run once an hour so it could be tough to get in there for a job. would love to just rent a house for the summer, or even just rent a few motel rooms for the 3 months.

    Hey, my friends and I are heading to Long Beach NY this year. There are 13 of us so finding it hard to get accomodation or even two places near each other. Where is the ideal neighbourhood that would be near a beach and potential work and not too expensive?
