Beach 98th St Queens , NY 11694 United States
Completely renovated and is so peaceful to take a nice walk -- especially before beach season and the crowds
Today, I was here with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineeres to start sand-pumping operations on Rockaway Beach : http://bit.ly/1dbcMCv
Although ticket-happy cops abound during crowd season, you should be able to rock inline skates or pedal down the boardwalk with less hassle now that the beach is closed.
Di Cosmos Italian ice is the best for a beach day!
Great beach !!! And all ya gotta do is take a ride (for $2.25) on the A train !! Cleannnnn bathrooms ...soft sand ...and it's free :)
take a sunrise walk on the beach and boardwalk
Twisted Tea from Low Tide Bar & frozen Sangria from Arepas .
The tip is, come out to Rockaway, its change,, and its a little more exiting.
Don't ever ride your bike on the boardwalk while it's wet. Trust me, it's a bad idea.
A relaxing place to clear your mind.. Away from yelling kids! Haha
rockaway taco and bar are open for business!

Dear hipsters : please go the fuck home.
When crowded with surfers, head to Beach 66th (either walk the boardwalk or take the Q23). Great rights and lefts anywhere between the jetties parallel to Beach 68th thru Beach 59th. - A.J. Fiorella
They sell plenty of beach stuff as you walk to the beach - Ginny virginia Kuhn
For a public city beach, I'm impressed. No, I didn't (& probably wouldn't) take a dip, but for Labor Day the beach was pleasantly crowded & surprisingly convenient. A → S train during the summer! - Foxxy B
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
Frozen piña colada ????or pink lemonades ???????? take to the beach or enjoy the AC after the beach - Zucchini Rose
The kombucha shandy is part kombucha, part beer, and all awesome. - Steve Kinney
