(from Google)This National Park needs some serious funding and ideas to bring it back to a greater glory. This needs to be a Federal, State and Local collaboration.
It has a nice beach, kids play area and picnic area.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Riis Beach is such a great spot to spend the day. The beach is wide, clean, and never feels too crowded, even on busy weekends. The water is nice for swimming, and there’s plenty of space to spread out and relax. What I love most is the mix of people—it has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that makes everyone feel comfortable. There are food stands and little spots to grab drinks or snacks, so you don’t have to leave if you get hungry. The sunsets here are also amazing, definitely worth staying to watch. Whether you want to hang out with friends, take a walk, or just relax by the ocean, Riis Beach has the perfect atmosphere.
Very Spacious, Really Clean, place to walk, bike 🚲 riding, jogging, 👟 a Very Beautiful ocean 🌊 view! 👍🏾😌⛱️♥️❤️
My most favorite place in the world - the Beach. I've been coming here for many many years. It's local to me and having a playground is a bonus with a few areas to grill. It's much easier to walk to the beach if you're lugging beach equipment. It's my GO TO beach. Only thing is when summer is around expect to pay for parking. But the beach does provide a huge lot and it gets packed fast!
