South Battery - all beaches

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.

Walking along Fort Tilden Beach was absolutely fantastic! The beach offers both a fishing area and an optional clothing section. Although I was eager to locate the impressive fort depicted in the pictures, I was unsure of its exact whereabouts or how to reach it. All I managed to catch a glimpse of was the back of a metallic structure. Nonetheless, it was definitely worth the visit.

The boardwalk, including the nature preserve, has been increasingly crowded. It's becoming more difficult to ride a bike on weekends without having to stop multiple times due to people not paying attention, even in the designated bike lanes. I've been living in Rockaway for a long time, about two years before Rockaway Playland closed, and it's now as crowded as it was back then. The construction work on the cement seawall has really picked up in the past few months. Today's photo.

The beach was too windy for a full day, but my kids managed to have a good time with 45 minutes of sun, sand, and a little bit of splashing in the sea.

This is an awesome spot to catch the sunrise and say hello to some friendly dogs. I arrived at around 5am and had the whole beach to myself, which was amazing. After taking some lovely photos, I took a quick nap and woke up to the usual crowd. I had a great time swimming in the strong waves. I will definitely come back for more sunrises and I recommend that you do too. By the way, I took some great photos on my Samsung.
