Cleasaí an DuineAugust 4, 2015Great place to lollygag and people watch if you have some free time on your hands.
Renae MasonAugust 9, 2015It's weird and wonderful, better during the day. At night it feels a little sketchy/messy with too many drunk people around.

Matty EberleMay 5, 2011Great place for photography, old dilapidated, historic. Great place to F.O. for a while, or shoot a movie. Like Men In Black 3 for instance.

Talisa ChangAugust 7, 2011Perfect summer friday : aquarium for free 3pm-5pm, cyclones game at 7, fireworks on the beach at around 930 or 10. Seriously watch the fireworks.
DesmondFebruary 12, 2011Make sure to check out the Mermaid Parade and Siren Music Festival in the summer! Or take a dip during the winter Sunday with the Polar Bears.
CindyJuly 30, 2011Great place to feel a taste of times long ago when Carney Folk and Freakshows made a living. This place is awesomely historic.
Erica VentoJuly 17, 2013Be prepared to spend a lot of money! A four hr pass will run you $30 but no access to the Deno's Wheel or Cyclone, each of which are $7 and $9 respectively.

Exit the F train at w.8th and hit the beach across from the NY aquarium. Fewer people, more calm than across from Luna Park
Marc MayerAugust 10, 2015There's always that one prick who lets their plastic bags fly away, right into the water. Always.
Alexander KostOctober 15, 2019City beach. Clean and nice but you wouldn’t wanna swim here, perhaps...
Diego RufoMarch 31, 2011This is New York's beach. I recommend you to go on sunset hour. It's really pretty and romantic!!

A fantastic place! Somewhere that should be in your to-do list for the summer
Duncan PJSeptember 6, 2014"Warriors come and play" I bet im the only tourist to come here and say that 😉
Jessica MonahanAugust 7, 2011Go before the dilapidated charm meets its glamorized end. There are still hints of its heyday, but it's beginning to get sad and sterile.
Go have a beer and check out the Freakshow. Don't be scared you silly pants.
Bring extra manners, odds are many left theirs at home. Also, the shrimp and chips from Nathan's is extremely on-point.
Michelle WintersAugust 28, 2014Don't go to the Nathan's on the boardwalk. Instead visit the original restaurant on Surf Ave.
Jake SmithAugust 17, 2014Park in the Cyclone Stadium parking lot for a stress-free day on the boardwalk.
#ultrafactsAugust 21, 2012The infamous lost city of Beer Island can still be seen in the mist after some Tuesday Cyclones home games.
Do Not Stay Passed 8-9pm especially On weekends.Run For ur Life an I'm a New Yorker Born n Raised.
Darline SotoApril 18, 2014Opening day! Beautiful Sunday morning ready for the rides to open. With my love doing, what photographers do best.
Winter is a great place to photograph if you're into that type of thing. Bundle up and grab Nathan's and a brew afterwards.
EchoDAJune 5, 2012when you want to add a little "twist" to your average beach day.... a true NYC classic!
Friday night fireworks! Every Friday, not just in the summer.
Go past the pier (your right when facing the ocean) for cleaner sand and a younger crowd.
