    Buses can get you to the Rockaways but we've driven recently. Beautiful views over Cross Bay…read moreBridge. The area has been improved since we last went at least a decade ago. Street parking is available but not that easy to get. I googled and read that the southern parking spots on Shore Front Pkwy are not for public use. Didn't want to take a chance so found one (north side) by Beach 95th St. Beach 95-97 area was pretty lively last Friday. Saw a schedule of events until 8/31. There was the surf music festival with live bands performing; also a stage performance of Romeo and Juliet at the Rockaway Beach ampitheater. Beach 97 has food vendors; lifeguard station. Update: Enjoying Off The Rails live performance on 8/29 right now. Restrooms were dirty and smelly though. I know that a lot of people use them but need better maintenance. Only 1 sink was left on 8/29. Showers were on the boardwalk making the area sandy and wet. The beach/sand was coarser and a lot more broken shells, some sharp, when compared to Long Beach NY which we've gone to recently. Waves were much stronger too.

    My go-to boardwalk when I need to clear my mind--feel the breeze, dip my toes in the sand, stroll…read morealong the rocks, or catch the light just right for a quick pic. It's my little reset spot.

    This is a private area so be aware before you go. I didn't know, as this is part of the National…read moregateway park so it's still a bit confusing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_National_Recreation_Area Most of the area is owned by the breezy point cooperative. As you approach you will see a gatehouse where those going to the cooperative must check in, and those going through pass on the left. I had no indication that it was private at this point. I drive on to the fisherman's entrance, I canister this is 222nd street, and parked. I had a lovely walk, going all the way to the point and back. Later, as I was checking out an old military tower, I was approached by a resident. He seemed nice enough but I quickly realised that he was trying to determine whether I belonged there. He mentioned more than once that the entire area was private and that the only way people can get access is by knowing someone who lives there. Later I read reviews that you are allowed to go to the park if you first get a free day pass from the ranger station at riis park, or hike from Fort Tilden. So know before you go!

    Raw and elemental is what this beach is, just an expanse of sand and dunes and grass and many…read moreshorebirds. It's magical if you like to be far from the maddening crowd, and can handle being far from a working toilet too. As you head further out, the beach has, thankfully, less garbage than by Fort Tilden, though you might find, as we did, when you stroll along the shore an occasional dead blowfish, jellyfish, a horseshoe crab. The music you hear will be surf, gently rolling in or hammering at the shore and the occasional screeches of birds. A top site for birding, this beach didn't disappoint and we didn't even visit at peak migrating times. Just be careful if you walk further up along the sands and watch for signs that tell you not to disturb the nesting areas. Nature's ecosystem is more fragile than you think. The beach is a trek from Fort Tilden. You do need a permit if you have a car as the rangers here do check. If you don't have a car, be prepared to hike, and hike, and hike from Fort Tilden. It's a shorter walk if you take the trails from Fort Tilden and might seem endless if you walk along the shore. For all those of you who post on your profile that you love beach walks, well, Breezy Point will offer you the chance to prove your words!

    BOTTOM LINE: crowded alternative adjacent to Jacob Riis Park…read moreTIP/S: go early, exit early ...WHO: party of 1 WHY: curiosity WHAT: (Deets) I followed the crowd across the ball field to this beach. Compared to other beaches, there is less space to spread out because much of the land is roped off for nature preserve. Family friendly but folks were too close to one another IMO. I will say though, that the water seemed less littered with plastic and random waste, and I didn't have to tread through rocks and sharp shells to go in waist deep. That was a welcome surprise. WHEN: 7/12/20 WHERE: beach HOW: bike/ public transportation Q35 BATHROOM: 2 options, just off the water are port o johns. In the park area closer to the stables are separate gender restrooms. I used neither. WIFI: beats me DRESS CODE: as you wish SERVICE: n/a

Dogs are never allowed off-leash here, or anywhere else in Gateway National Recreation Area. Please, see my 2016 review below for all of the details! :) There is a nice bathroom with water fountains at Fort Tilden, but it closes around 5 pm (or sometimes earlier).
