User reviews
"Although it's been years since my last visit, the beach seems to have undergone a thorough cleaning with plenty of recreation staff, garbage and recycling bins, and life guards. Additionally, there are spacious restrooms and a quick bite spot that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I must say, the post-hurricane Sandy remodeling looks really impressive."
Midnight Shadow
"The beach is easily accessible thanks to the NYC ferry from Wall Street, making it convenient for both day trips and longer stays. The beach and boardwalk are kept clean, and there are plenty of tasty food options available. The ferry ride adds an extra touch of excitement to the experience."
