User reviews
"If you're not fond of masses of people, the ideal time to visit this beach is after the summer season. The sunsets are truly breathtaking and you'll find it hard to take a bad photo even if you try. Even during the off season, there are still plenty of shops, delis, and restaurants open for business. I highly recommend this beach as a must-visit destination."

"The beach is a tranquil haven that exudes serenity and peace. The panoramic vista of the peninsula is breathtaking, with Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean flanking either side. The view from this vantage point is simply awe-inspiring, encompassing the stunning sights of Coney Island, Brighton Beach, and Far Rockaway."
