Hackensack - all beaches

Rye Beach Park is a fantastic destination for families seeking a fun-filled day out. The beach is pristine and tranquil, providing a serene atmosphere for all visitors. The staff at the park are incredibly attentive to the safety of their guests, ensuring that everyone can relax and enjoy their time without any worries. Additionally, the park adjacent to the beach offers a great opportunity for a leisurely stroll. I highly recommend Rye Beach Park to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable day out.

It's always a stunning experience visiting this beach, and my 8-year-old daughter adores it here. Don't miss out on the boardwalk and pier, especially during the hours of 6pm-11pm.

The beach at the Brighton end of the boardwalk is a wonderful place to be. There is a diverse mix of people, including Russophones and other Eastern Europeans, creating a lively atmosphere. As you move westward, the beach becomes more peaceful and relaxing. The entertainment provided by various performers and the opportunity to people-watch is endless. There are plenty of uniformed first responders and national park rangers on hand to ensure safety and deal with any emergencies. I didn't have any children with me, so I didn't visit the amusement park or ride the carousel. However, I am looking forward to the possibility of bringing my grandchildren here one day. L'dor va dor.

I have frequented this beach countless times and the parking lot is perfect for hosting events due to its enormous size. It's also an ideal spot for beginners to practice driving or riding a motorcycle. The park is vast and boasts a huge playground for children with all the usual equipment such as swings, slides and monkey bars. The handball and racket ball courts are fantastic for enjoying hours of spectator sports. The diverse range of cultures in this area can be very humbling at times. Taking a moment to sit back and appreciate the different music and smells of food is what truly represents New York.

This beach is exclusively available to Westchester residents, and a park pass is required for entry, costing $90 for a three-year period. With a pass, parking is just $5, and admission for adults is a mere $4. Additional discounts are available for seniors, children, and military personnel. Those without a pass will find the prices slightly higher. The water is pristine, and the beach itself is impeccably clean, with well-maintained bathrooms and a convenient concession stand.

This was my go-to beach as a kid. The water is tranquil and the atmosphere is serene, making it perfect for doing laps. However, it's exclusive to Glen Cove residents only. If you're visiting someone who lives there, you can get a guest pass from City Hall.
