Longbeach is situated about halfway along the coastal road between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund Langbeach is part of Walvisbay Resorts.  The resort had its origin during the period when Walvis Bay was still part of the Republic of South Africa,  and the need for a public resort near Walvis Bay complimented the idea to lure more tourist and holiday makers to the Walvis Bay area.  Construction work on the tidal pools and jetty started in the late 70's and was commissioned After the Completion of the camp site, day picnic area's and other facilities by the then Minister of Tourism and regional development of the RSA.  Shortly after the completion of Langstrand a second resort was constructed a few kilometer south called Dolphyn Strand, with more protected swimming pool areas.   Langstrand was also zoned as a residentual area and soon after the infrastructure was complete, housing started to go up one by one.  After the completion of some of the apartment projects, the resort become more and more popular and is now developed at a fast pace. 

Langstrand is lê so ongeveer halfpad tussen Swakopmund en Walvisbaai  en reg langs die kuspad tussen die twee dorpe.  Langstrand is deel van Walvisbay oorde.  Langstrand en Dolfyn Strand is ontwikkel gedurende die tydperk toe Walvisbaai nog deel van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika was en om Walvisbaai meer toeganklik te maak vir die groeiende en ontluikende toerisme bedryf.  Konstruksie werk aan die die gety poele, kaai, kampeer area, dag piekniek plekke en openbare geriewe het in die laat 70's vroeëre tagtiger jare begin en is oopgestel deur die destydse Minister belas met Toerisme en omgewings sake.  Kort hierna het die ontwikkeling van Dolfyn strand in aanvang geneem.

Langstrand is ook gesoneer as 'n residentiële area en kort na voltooing is die eerste wonings opgerig, maar het eers spoed gekry nadat 'n ontwikkelaar 'n woonstel projek opgerig.  Tans is die ontwikkelings van behuisings projekte en woonhuise baie besig en brei die oord vinnig uit.
