A raging crowd of rowdy teenagers descended on picturesque Horny Corner beach in the tony Belmont Shore section of Long Beach at dusk Thursday, sparking a wild brawl that led to several teens being detained.
The chaos unfolded as the sun began to set on the first night of summer break for students enrolled at many schools in the area, including nearby Woodrow Wilson High, which enrolls more than 3,300.
Wild video captured at the scene shows throngs of teens clogging streets and the sand at two busy Southern California beaches, that of Horny Corner and nearby Rosie’s Dog Beach.
Teen girls in bikini tops threw punches at each other in the frenzy that ensued, prompting a number of local residents to call the police.
Officers responded within five minutes of the first call, according to the Long Beach Police Department, arriving in a flurry of squad cards with sirens blaring, just before 7 p.m.
Upon arrival, officers immediately began to break up a group of about 200 teens gathered at Horny Corner beach, near the intersection of Ocean Boulevardand Bayshore Avenue, according to the LBPD.

Teens.
I lived in Long Beach from 1980-85 and then in Lakewood from 1986-89. I loved going to Belmont Shores & Naples to check out the “rich ppl’s” houses. We didn’t have a problem with these hordes of animals taking over a neighborhood back then. I’m glad we didn’t stick around after all.
Teens yogi. Teens.
“Teens.”
Used to be Yutes.
Why is it always the same people?
Oh those silly teenagers.
Is Eddie Haskell getting into mischief again?
A word worth a thousand pictures.
RE: students enrolled at many schools in the area, including nearby Woodrow Wilson High...

Mr.Hand didn’t know how much worse young people would become.
Because they like doing the same things!
If there is a video in the article, I didn’t find it.
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A 🎶
Then everybody’d be surfin’
Like Californ-i-a. 🎶
You’d see them wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too. 🎶
A bushy, bushy blond hairdo
Surfin’ U.S.A..🎶

Or, they could just get right into violent brawls and riots.
The 60s are over.
Not exactly a “Gidget” beach party is it.
My how times have changed.
They be chimpin’....their words....
Odd, when I was a kid, the negros from inland coming to the beach mostly stayed out of the water.
Knee deep for the more adventuresome. A wave splashing them woule cause a panic.
Does this article mention any of them actually going into the ocean?
Yeah - he, Wally, Beaver, Lumpy, and Gilbert were always feeling dissed. To say nothing about Larry “I-always-have-food-in-my-pocket” Mondello.
And to think that Ward and June tried sooo hard.
Looks like recent pics around Capetown beaches.
Just stay out of Seal Beach
