Great beach!, clean, good young crowd, dogs allowed. Can get crowed so arrive early. Parking is is a bit of a problem if u don't get there early.

Had a great experience, be aware that the water is freezing even in July. Other than that had a great day, the beach was full, but it was expected to be since we are in summer — not a lot of dinner options. Be careful on what area you choose to sit in; there is a part of the beach designated just for surfers. If you don't have a surfer table, you won't be allowed in the water. Guards and police won't let you in the water after 6, so I would recommend going early so you can enjoy it fully.

Great Skatepark… live music near by, friendly locals, and everything is cleaned regularly.

It’s really nice and you could even go surfing, provided there aren’t very many people. But there are just too many people, especially during peak summer days. The entire beachfront becomes a free for all, so you need to get there early if you want parking spot AND a nice spot on the beach. Atlantic seawater is a little cold, but not enough to ruin beach experience.

We had an outstanding time. Met some nice people. Enjoyable day.

Not as hot by the beach. Many people enjoying the summer weather.

Its good to get out of the house and get some fresh air on the board walk. The board walk in the 70s and 80s in Rockaway Park is clean and secure. The building of beach front homes have beautified the area and makes the strip during the evening looks spectacular. Prior to covid there were many events and activities on the board walk. Its really good that the children are able to go for a walk 🚶‍♂️ instead of staying in the house.

Having the open ocean in front of you and the thought of New York behind you is very exciting. The landscape is precisely that of the immense ocean beaches. With lots of surfers and a constant wind. It is a difficult place to see for a European tourist. Off the usual New York routes. If you can, though, do it. It's worth taking a trip around these parts.

I love this place. It's so relaxing and clean. It is a non smoking beach, so please respect that when you go. They do so much to keep it clean for us. The Ripper is the best place to eat fresh and delicious fast food. Great drinks and amazing icecream.

This is one of thee cleanest beaches in New York City. Though the tides and currents are POWERFUL! The lifeguards respond fast to incidents and the porter in the woman's bathroom does an excellent job at maintaining and cleaning the bathrooms. Everytime I come to this Beach I feel like I'm in another state or out of town. Since Hurricane Sandy the city has fixed the boardwalk up Lovely! Because it's deep in the channel, it gets windy on average, so bring a jacket or sweater if you're staying later in the evening. Even if you're not staying late bring a jacket.

Did a Beach Party with my sisterhood Had a wonderful time. Plenty of space to come together in God's Livingroom where we saw a Beautiful sunset and enjoyed splashing and eating good food and drink. Dancing and having fun

July 2018. This is what a romantic Saturday evening walk along Rockaway Beach looks like--covered in garbage. Plastics in our oceans is a catastrophic problem and yet here we are armed with that knowledge and the capacity to do something about it in one of the biggest cities in the world and this is what we show the world? So ashamed of New York City and Queens right now.

Went to Beach 102 had the Best Beach experience. Parked right across the Street. Walked across a limited expanse of Sand, found a Spot and Voilá... just like that. Clean, Not Too Crowded and Didn't have to walk a mile to the water. Highly recommend.

Had an outstanding first beach day of 2021 for myself and girlfriend. Lovely day.

Today's Golden Army Fitness beach run was another amazing accomplishment that proved that in any weather conditions we can always be Victorious. I encourage us all to come out to this wonderful spot to enjoy a nice jog or couples/ singles walk along the boardwalk 🥇🔥 This is always a great spot to take a surf on the waves when permitted or for some 🌞 bathing. Located just about 3 blocks away from the shuttle train it's very a ideal mini getaway😁⛱️ If you guys would like to join us on our next adventure please reach out to us On IG @goldenarmyfitness_j

LOVE LOVE LOVE Rockaway Beach! My home away from home. Been coming here over 50+yrs. I think the water is the cleanest it been in a long time, so much so that if you're there at the right time you might see dolphins or maybe a pilot whale. Possible even a shark but hey it's THEIR home. We're just visitors. Make sure you bring a bag for your garbage though. Please don't make a mess and leave your garbage behind. Respect the Beach ⛱️

Nature at its finest especially during the summer Calm place to be on weekdays A memorable experience

Very clean beach. One of the best weekend getaway beach in entire ny and nj

BEACH 90 we love and appreciate you. See you next spring

Paradise Carrousel place

Ocean is quite beautiful. Not crowded. Very relaxing .

Fantastic....Love this place.

I love this beach, my favorite place! Beach 97 to 85 ! But parking is a big big issue? The city has "No parking" sign all along the beach front shore street? Why would the city do that! Doesn't make any sense and gonna discourage many to come to the beach!! Should have metered parking spots all along the beach shore front from 10 am to 7 pm! We pay high taxes in NYC, We should find a parking spot when we go to the beach! Nevertheless every street close to the beach there are "No parking" sign on one side too! Seems like their plan to stop people from coming to the beach! Instead they should install metered parking spots and remove all the "No parking" signs! People end up parking on top of the sidewalks and grass and block the fire hydrant! I dont blame them at all! Sometimes they get a ticket! They city plan is working great! The sand on the beach full of small pieces of like wood, seems like no one cares about cleaningthe sand before the summerseason, the water has shells and small stones, very sharp rocks could cut out you feet open! Dont what the city should do about that! The city council should do something about that issue ! Make the taxpayers happy and make money installing metered parking spots!

I'm a beach person and Rockaway Beach is beautiful, clean and safe. Lifeguard are always attentive, especially because the waves are strong at this beach. Also by the board walk they give out face mask for your comfort. It is a wonderful place to spend a summer day!! Enjoy 😉.
