The Long Beach Peninsula has very little light pollution, making it a great spot for stargazing. Just like with storm watching, you sometimes have to wait for just the right conditions, but trust us, it is worth it if you’re a photographer or nature lover.
There aren’t many places where you get to tilt your head back and be in awe of millions of stars. We rounded up 9 stunning starry nights on the LBP from Instagrammers. Be sure to hit the like button on their photos and give them a follow for more amazing photography.
Follow us on Isntagram for more of the best peninsula and Pacific County visuals we can find.

4. The Seaview sign is iconic on the peninsula, and @clambake_’s awe-inspiring nighttime photo makes it look epic. There aren’t many places where you get to see the Milky Way so clearly, but Seaview is definitely one of them.
