Jacob Riis Park Beach
Leaving Brooklyn behind and entering the borough of Queens, Riis Beach offers more than just a beach getaway. Yes the waves are rockin’, but when the salt water gets to be too much, you can cool off at the Riis Park Beach Bazaar that features Brooklyn staples including Ample Hills Creamery and Fletcher’s BBQ. Throughout the summer, the bazaar also features concerts by up-and-coming artists.

Rockaway Beach
Close to Jacob Riis Beach, Rockaway Beach is a tad more secluded and perfect for when you want to forget about the noisiness of the city. This Queens beach is a little hard to get to without a car, but the Rockaway route of the NYC Ferry connects Lower Manhattan and Sunset Park to Rockaway Beach.

Fort Tilden
This hidden gem of a beach is located near Riis Beach, but is not quite as crowded. Once a United States Army Base, this 3-mile stretch of land will feel like your own personal beach. With multiple decommissioned military buildings to look at, Fort Tilden adds a little city history to your beach day.
