NYC Beaches - New York City

This great section at the southernmost tip of Brooklyn has been quite an attraction for many decades. What with all the great amusement rides for adults and kids, the NY Aquarium and its 3.5 mile boardwalk and the new KeySpan Park which is home to our Brooklyn Cyclones, it's almost a trip back in time. Visit New Yorkled's Coney Island Page.

Please note there are Summer Concerts which take place at Coney Island Beach. In 2001 they were accompanied by fireworks celebrations, let's all hope this will be the case in following years. Keep checking New Yorkled's Events Pages for posted information and updates.

At the time of this writing, Spring 2003, because of huge renovations being done to the area, you'll need to consult with the MTA website to be sure of how to get to Coney Island.

At the beach itself their are connected numbered sections (existing as such simply for the sake of identification) to swim off of and picnic within (with lifeguards there during the Summer days). As well are Summer Concerts for which information will be posted on New Yorkled's Events Pages.
