Rockaway Beach

I love rockaway Beach & its way cleaner than coney Island. This beach has been modernized & cleaned up very well. Alot of the Jewish communities have moved in after hurricane sandy & bought alot of the properties there, and now they have taken over & made it look nice. I definitely recommend if u looking to have a nice beach day, with out the feeling of over crowded noise. Beach 60th has a nice park for kids & bathrooms, & a life guard station near by.

The perfect time to come here is definitely September - fewer people and smaller lines. 😌 This beach is one of my best memories from the whole of ny.

September is the month you want to visit Rockaway Beach. Few people, cool waves, short lines to the restaurant and the bathrooms. A real gem in the far-far corner of nyc and my heart.

This is such a great trip to take out of the city to swim and have a day of fun in the sun. Was easy enough to hop on the A and jump off at the 67 Beach stop. Lots of shops around for libations and food. The weather was so good and there’s a nice breeze with great waves most days. Not to crowded either. Went on a Sunday.

Plenty of space and decent sand. Water is clean however it has strong currents and often you can't swim. Easy to get on the subway. Beach is free and has public bathrooms and showers. Some bars and places to eat along the park. Can get very crowded on weekends. Safe, police and park guards are always visible. Not sure why many people playing loud music - use your headphones!
