One of the coolest beaches on the East Coast! There are tons of Brooklyn's raddest food vendors, chair and umbrella rentals, bike rentals, and great drinks -- both alcoholic and not!

Jacob Riis Park Rockaway, Queens A historic ocean beach and Art Deco bathhouse in the Rockaways Dubbed “The People’s Beach,” Jacob Riis Park is a popular summer destination steeped in history. Opened in 1932, the restored Art Deco bathhouse is home to a variety of ranger-led programs and history exhibits. Facilities available in season include the Riis Park Pitch and Putt Golf Course, ball courts and food concessions. The park is named in honor of Jacob Riis, the famed New York City journalist and photographer who documented the plight of the poor and working class in the city’s tenements. Today, the park’s ocean beach and landscaped walkways, boardwalks and courtyards still provide city dwellers, many of them new immigrants, an opportunity to spread out and enjoy the open air.

This is pretty much the only beach we ever go to. You can take a dollar van on Flatbush can sometimes take you there, otherwise take the B41 to the Q35 and you're there!
