Come for sunsets and calm water
The beach offers still, gentle water ideal for wading and consistently praised sunset views that draw visitors repeatedly.
Arrive early on summer weekends
The beach becomes extremely crowded by afternoon, making it difficult to find space even though the beach is large.
Visit fall or spring for solitude
Fall and spring offer beautiful conditions with far fewer people, though late October brings cold weather and closed public restrooms.
Expect limited summer parking
Municipal parking costs twenty dollars and finding street parking is difficult, so take the F or Q train instead.
