    Nice public beach, with the ferry and metro going to the less attractive part. The section at the Marine Parkway Bridge is much nicer, wider, less frequented and still has the infrastructure.

    One of the nicest beaches in New York City is accessible by subway or a $3.50 ferry from lower Manhattan. The beach spans much of the length of the Rockaway peninsula and offers quiet spots for everyone, especially the further away from the last subway stop you venture. There is a boardwalk along the beach, and every few blocks a restaurant where you can buy food and drinks. This is the People’s Beach! One of the finest places to experience, enjoy and participate in the melting pot that is NYC.

    Beautiful beach right in NYC! Accessible by subway and even ferry. Near the subway stop there are lots of bars and restaurants, but it gets quieter as you move further away. Lots of beach to spread out on even in busy Queens!
