    This has been one of my favorite place since 2020. It’s a must go to place around and after sunset. It has stunning views of the Brooklyn bridge 🌉 and the city 🌃 Highly recommend! I know you will fall in love with this place! Good for kids too if they want to play with pebbles and water. See the pictures!

    Awesome viewpoint near Brooklyn Bridge. A must visit if you are in New York or Brooklyn. It is just beside the Brooklyn Bridge, looks beautiful during sunset. Breeze from the river will rejuvenate you. NewYork Skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan bridge view is just awesome. No Entry fees, open all time. A little walk from Brooklyn Bridge.

    A great place to take photos of both bridges, to have a view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. In the morning it is not very crowded and you can even practice yoga on the grass at the Bridge Park nearby. Beautiful views of Manhattan especially on a sunny day. It can be a bit windy in the fall.

    It’s an all-in-one of the iconic sights of New York City. You can see the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, and the entire skyline from here. It’s even better at night when everything lights up. Nice hidden gem spot in NYC that is often overlooked. It’s not too busy here and it’s the perfect spot to hang out. Best spot to get a view of the city and some pictures.

    'Beach' is pushing it but there are certainly pebbles. Quite a nice spot but every so often you get a whiff of the pollution in the river to remind you where you are - don't let your kids play in the water as it's filthy.

    Excellent little viewpoint of the New York skyline with bars and restaurants nearby! Highly recommend coming here before sunset on a weekday and staying a while at a nearby bar until nightfall to view the beautiful city. This area can get a little crowded at times with photographers and visitors but there’s plenty of viewpoints nearby. Getting there is easy. There is a subway stop about a 10 minute walk away. I came here and took some pictures. Had dinner and a beer at the rooftop bar nearby. Then, I walked across the bridge back to manhattan. It was an unforgiving experience and I highly recommend it. I even did this in the rain. I can only imagine how great it is in good weather! Definitely worth coming for a sunset or night evening as a date!

    You take your food, snacks, and your drinks and you head to pebble beach on a beautiful sunny day! Or you go there for sunset/sunrise, it’s the best feeling. Very nice spot with an iconic view. You can get the two bridges next to each other, with the Manhattan skyline which gets you beautiful pictures. We loved the spot, on top of that you have a small walk around to the time out market or to Dumbo to take the iconic Manhattan bridge picture.

    So of the best views of Manhattan can be seen here at Pebble Beach. I love to come just hang out on the stairs and look at views of the city and people watch. The kids love to throw rocks into the water. Not a far walk from the ferry.

    Short: Absolutely stunning place! Long: If you are interested in photography or simply just want to make the most of your NYC trip go there. There are about 4 good image spots within about 10 minutes walking distance. Afterwards you can have a great morning walk back into downtown across brooklyn bridge. Won't get any better! Pebble beach was best for me either in blue hour or just after sunrise (see images attached).

    A nice hidden beach that I didn't even check on Google Maps and that I didn't intend to go to. This beach offers a beautiful point of view in between Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges and the city. It's very pleasant to watch the waves crash on the pebbles here, it's one of the few places where you can easily touch the water, in an area that is made for it. People are here for dumbo and Manhattan bridge while this area is usually under performing, not a lot of people. Nice to chill.

From the elegant architecture of The Lodge at Pebble Beach to the charming allure of Spanish Bay, every corner of this coastal paradise offers a unique perspective waiting to be immortalized through the lens. Wildlife abounds, adding a touch of charm and spontaneity to every frame captured. Whether it's the sleek silhouette of a seal basking in the sun or the graceful flight of a seabird against the azure sky, Pebble Beach teems with life and wonder. Each season brings its own palette of colors and moods, ensuring that no two photographs are ever alike. From the lush greens of spring to the golden hues of autumn, every moment is a masterpiece waiting to be captured. The annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance attracts vintage car enthusiasts from around the world, offering photographers the opportunity to document automotive history against a stunning backdrop. The culinary delights of Pebble Beach provide a feast for the senses, inviting photographers to capture the artistry of gastronomy in every dish. Whether it's the fresh catch of the day or the decadent creations of world-renowned chefs, food photography thrives in this gastronomic haven. The warmth and hospitality of the locals infuse every photograph with a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

    Best place to have a seat and enjoy the view of the Brooklyn bridge, under the Manhattan bridge. A bit loud because of the trains but the view is gorgeous, during day but especially sunset/night time

    Pebble Beach is a prime area to take very nice scenic views of this location. This is a tourist hot spot and if you visit yourself, you will understand why. You have views of the Manhattan Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge and right across the river, you have the Manhattan skyline. 3 minute walk away from here and you can enjoy a wooden horse ride at Jane's Carousel. You have many restaurants, bakery cafe shops and some stores to do some shopping at as well.

    An excellent place to capture photos at night. I've been here a few times at night and it's never too busy. If you plan to spend some time here, just know the train that runs on the Manhattan Bridge is quite loud and can be heard very clearly here.

    Beautiful view of Brooklyn bridge and WTC. Also can see Empire from here. Peaceful to watch the sunset into the night with city skyline.

  • 5/5 Daniel F. 3 months ago on Google • 139 reviews New
    Views at night are spectacular. We didn't do anything here except take in the sights. A quick walk up the hill will allow you to access the pedestrian walk for the Brooklyn bridge

  • 5/5 Aishu's 2 months ago on Google • 75 reviews New
    Beautiful, iconic and picture perfect beach. My kiddo played a lot throwing pebbles into water. Even sitting calmly we can view the beauty of New York city. Sky-liners, ferries, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, One World Trade Center and even Empire State Building. Sunset time and night time will have more beautiful views.

    If you’re a fan of “Manifest” tv show, here is the place where you can find the famous carousel. I was expecting to be more crowded but the beach was really nice, not too many tourists on it. You can find there nice shells and you can collect some as a souvenir. Also, a nice place to watch the boats and see some waves 😁. Don’t miss it if you’re nearby.

  • 5/5 Mwazomela T. 1 year ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Cute and picture perfect spot for early morning walks. It's a quiet spot for coffee early in the morning, but it does get pretty busy in the afternoon. Plan to stop here if you're visiting the Manhattan Bridge and take a short walk over to the Brooklyn Bridge and take plenty of photos.

  • 5/5 Gerson T. 2 years ago on Google
    You'll have such a great view of the city, you can't miss this place! Great for relaxing and easy to find.

  • 5/5 Anja G. 6 months ago on Google
    Super schöner Blick auf die Brooklyn Bridge und Manhattan Bridge und rüber nach Manhattan! Toller Platz. Es gibt dort auch ein wunderschönes Karussell.

  • 5/5 Marcel S. 10 months ago on Google
    Sind zufällig auf diesen Spot gestoßen, aber es lohnt sich! Man fährt von Manhattan Downtown nach Brooklyn rüber und steigt an der High Street aus, von dort sind es nur noch 10min Fußweg für eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf die Skyline. Wir waren 2x mal dort… 1mal bei Nacht und 1mal zum Sonnenuntergang wobei der nicht so wie erwartet war🥲 In der Nähe hat man mit Peas&Pickles nen kleinen Laden wo man sich Getränke für den Strand holen kann. Must See in New York🏙️

  • 5/5 Alexander F. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful scenic views and gorgeous landscape! I wouldn't recommend swimming in the water, but it's a relaxing place to hang out and enjoy the scenery. There are many tourist attractions and delicious restaurants very close by as well!

  • 5/5 Snorlax_5 8 months ago on Google
    A bit crowded but it has a great view of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn bridge.

  • 4/5 Natalia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice views. This entire area is very clean but also very expensive. Popular photo spot! Go at sunset 🌅

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 2 years ago on Google
    An excellent place to do nighttime photography of Brooklyn Bridge!

  • 5/5 Eddy G. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful view of both of the major bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Definitely stop by to take in the view if you’re in the area.

  • 5/5 Saurin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great views of both bridges. Nice picnic area and lawn

  • 5/5 Jose M. 2 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    One of a handful of my favorite locations in DUMBO Brooklyn for photos. The best (and perhaps busiest time) would by sunset where you have a clear view of the NYC skyline as a backdrop.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth A. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is Heaven 💛Seriously,if you want the full monty for pictures and NYC this is the place! Stunning,a breath of fresh air with so much to take in around you....ten minutes from Dumbo Flea market too.

  • 5/5 Juan B. 7 months ago on Google
    Pebble beach photo taken at 7 am on a Saturday! Beautiful spot to look at the sunset with some friends and a bottle of wine. It can get busy in the afternoon so plan accordingly

  • 5/5 Eve S. 7 months ago on Google
    Stunning views of the two bridges, wasn’t very busy.

  • 5/5 AMD 8 months ago on Google
    Really cool starting point if you want to ride a bicycle across the Brooklyn bridge or Manhattan bridge!

  • 5/5 Tima M. 10 months ago on Google
    The must beautiful scene you could see at night with the pretty manhattan lights right across the River. Then the beach is filled with rocks which people call “pebbles”

  • 3/5 Kimberly T. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Megan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous beach with the best views of both bridges. The beach is not sandy of course, and has light waves splashing on it. They have built in seats for viewing and it was a fairly non crowded area.

  • 5/5 The Hungry F. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place to relax and chill away from the bustle of New York. Bring food from the Timeout Market and relax here with stunning views of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.

  • 4/5 Dvir K. 1 year ago on Google
    A small beachy area with access to the east river framed between the surrounding impressive architecture, offering some great views of the river, Brooklyn bridge and Manhattan. You should stop here as part of your walk in DUMBO or across the Brooklyn bridge. Then grab a bite at the nearby Timeout market or the many great places in the neighborhood.

  • 5/5 Christopher 10 months ago on Google
    Located in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It’s a small 1/4 circle concrete stadium type sitting area that overlooks Manhattan & the Brooklyn Bridge. The beach area is made of pebbles. Really nice place to sit.

  • 5/5 Hendro H. 1 year ago on Google
    This Beach is one of my Fav spots in NYC. the view to manhattan is really nice during the sunset. watching people walking around from the bridge. or just sit and enjoy the afternoon. bu looking for parking here is a bit difficult. make sure use public Transport

  • 5/5 Monika R. 1 year ago on Google
    Super charming spot with stunning views of the both bridges and Manhattan skyline. I loved the mix of nature - cute pebbles and water - with modern skyscrapers in the background and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.

  • 5/5 Jorge A. 1 year ago on Google
    A Must go place to visit whenever you are in NYC, Beautiful place to save memories with your love ones, great view, I highly recommend

  • 5/5 Alonso A. 1 year ago on Google
    The best view in my opinion you will find in nyc . You will be able to se Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges 🌉. Definitely is a spot ti visit being in nyc. The sunset and nights is the best time to be there and takes many pictures.

  • 5/5 M K. 1 year ago on Google
    Breathtaking views of nyc, never gets old, lots of people taking pics. You can walk to other spots to take memorable pictures. Very well maintained. Came here on Saturday afternoon and was not too crowded.

  • 5/5 Marissa A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite places to visit in Brooklyn even as a ‘tourist’ attraction. The energy is unmatched and there’s a lot of great places to eat in the area. I’d avoid it on the weekends - like most places. But it’s worth going to.
