Orchard Beach and Promenade
Beach
😠 Love only when there is SALSA BANDS! Half of the time the bathrooms are so dirty and smelly and infested with Mosquitoes!!! I would go enough to enjoy for a few songs then leave! With all the money it makes they should always keep the bathrooms at all time clean and smelling good it's a shame woma...

Manhattan Beach
Beach
👍👍 Lots of people but a smaller beach with a shallow shore and spots are all nice! The neighborhood doesn't have street parking on weekends and holidays, so next time we would try to come on a weekday to avoid the $24 parking lot. There's a park nearby where there are lots of parties and barbecues, too...

Plumb Beach (Gateway National Recreation Area)
Beach
👍👍 Really great "secret spot" type beach, lots of aquatic life on the shores, hidden paths, sand dunes, marshes and streams. Coming here during low tide is amazing. The water depth doesn't change for a while, you can walk all the way out into the ocean a few hundred feet from shore and you'll still be...

Hallett's Cove Beach
Beach
👍👍 My dog swam out 50 yards, but the current did not sweep her away. Also the sunsets here are magnifico. Also there’s trash. But it’s local, sand-fed trash. Legend has it that the spirit of William Hallett visits the beach every 77 years. His next appearance is scheduled for July 7, 2027.

Brighton Beach
Beach
😠 This place is truly a reflection of those who come there. It’s a beautiful place itself but it’s so so dirty and disgusting. People leave trash wherever they want including glass, alcohol bottles and plastic. Kids play with sand but the same time some other families bring their dogs and cars to do...

Great Kills Beach
Beach
😐 This beach has so much wasted potential and it's frustrating. It's beautiful beach to walk on but it has been overrun with fishermen in which most of them do not care about the state of the beach and it's covered in garbage. Also, because it is overrun with fishermen, it's impossible to enjoy walkin...

Beach In Fort Washington Park
Beach
👍👍 An interesting area. The bottom is sandy. Not rock or mud as might be expected. Except I was swimming here at low tide and the bottom is very muddy if you go out a bit. As the area creates a bit of a cove, its kind of sheltered from the Hudson River currents. One day I was here when there was a...

👍 Nice wide beach, great views of the Verrazano bridge and the islands. Some plastic litter in the sand - sad that the birds will end up eating it and dying

Pier 4 Beach
Beach
😐 Nothing crazy! I wouldn’t call that beach just because there is some sand on the floor. The water is so dirty that you can’t even go in it. View is definitely amazing and the place is relaxing!

Riis
Beach
👍👍 It's relieving to find a queer and trans friendly beach! For anyone visiting, it's usually the section towards the left when you're facing the water. The sand isn't too rocky here which is nice. There is a burger a fries stand and gendered bathrooms on site, but the men's bathroom has plenty of stal...
