Pebble Beach in DUMBO is such a beautiful spot! The views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline are breathtaking, and it's a perfect place to relax by the water and enjoy the city's charm.

If you cross the bridge and don't take some time to explore the Brooklyn side, you are missing! The area is so gorgeous, and charming, with spectacular views of Manhattan - and the bridge. While beaches aren't the first things that come to mind when visiting New York City, Pebble Beach at Brooklyn Bridge Park will be well worth the visit. Now this is not a normal beach that you may think of. You won't find beach umbrellas, soft sand, or swimmable water. But what you will find at Pebble Beach, are some of the best views of NYC that you can ask for. A beautiful and quiet place to enjoy scenic views and take amazing photos! Weather permitting, you can chill there for a while!

Pebble Beach was amazing, so much fun! I never thought that New York City would have such a beautiful spot like this! There was a beautiful beach with a gorgeous view of the river right in front of you, and then, if you turned your head 180 degrees in either direction, you either had an awesome view of the Brooklyn Bridge, or an amazing view of the Dumbo neighborhood right at your fingertips! I can't recommend visiting here highly enough!

Visited Pebble beach one cold December day since we were around the area and it was nice to see a different view of the city. From here you can see both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge. It was fairly clean but we did visit winter time so it didnt really have that "pretty park" feel. From here you can be under the Manhattan Bridge. I felt so small just being beneath it and was quite in awe. It was really huge from where I was and I realized how amazing and just so useful this bridge is. Sometimes we just fail to appreciate what we see often. Anyway, there were a few people there as well despite it being quite cold. Im sure its a cool spot to hangout during nicer weathers and that more people would actually come here if it isnt too cold. I hear its a a nice spot for sunset viewing.

The cliche shot taken from here....   This is one I took handheld in April 2024.

Whenever I go to NY and the weather is nice, my sis always takes me here. There's just so much to…read moreenjoy. The beach itself is nice, and while the water isn't clear like the Caribbean... we just have to accept that here haha. The lifeguards are attentive -- they even have a drone that I think looks out for sharks. The boardwalk has a bit to see, and there's one hub that's got a bit of everything -- pizza, hot dogs (including vegan ones), smoothies, poke bowls, alfajores, a bar... it's quite nice. There's a bunch of tables right outside and they usually have a dope DJ mix going on. It's just a shame that there's a big sign that tells people not to ride their bikes and scooters through that area, but they do anyway... shame! Parking can be hit or miss based on what time and what day you go. Sometimes we've parked right across the street from the boardwalk. Other times we've parked three blocks away. A lot of the parking is free, by the way. There is some pay-to-park, but we don't like that haha. Definitely go if you have some time!

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.

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). There is no parking without a permit, unless you are there for a sports league, the community garden, theater, fishing (permit required), or some other official business.
