90th St Far Rockaway , NY 11693 United States
Great beach with fairly easy access from NYC via the A train . Tip: don't wait until the end of the day to leave bc trains get crowded and you'll be standing the whole way home!! 4p, vs 5, ????????
New boardwalk includes foot wash station. This part of the beach is for surfers only; move down if you want to just take a dip .
A great day trip! Rockaway Beach is still very clean & pure compared to any beaches close by ????
just walk a little bit north of the concession stand and it's easy to find some sparse sand to set up camp
Bring a surfboard or boogie board . For drinks, go to Connolly's on 95th and get one of their famous frozen pina coloda's or other frozen drink that's on special. Surfs up!
So many surfer cuties. Great spot for people watching
Great surfing in NY
I'm so glad this is my home! Love it here
just watch the surfers ...
Not a cloud in the sky.
I miss Rockaway. ...

Always a good time. Favorite burger in Rockaway. Fries very good too. Tasty Micheladas to chill out, boozy Beach Juice to get crazy. Nice mix on the radio playlists and a relaxing atmosphere. - Jane O'Donnell
Amazing place with Venice beach vibes, and great Tacos! Perfect relaxed post-beach snack and/or drink in their outside patio. - Emilie
The chorizo taco was amazing as was the guacamole! The location is beautiful and super cute - Hailey Tobman
