Honestly, a very fun place to walk around and take it all in, walk the nice boardwalk, just re done not to long ago and enjoy the rides and the food. You will def not be let down it regards to fun!

A great sand beach in NY. It's crowded but still good. Great place to have lunch , and it is right by the adventure park . There's also a store that sells all beach items (towels, sunglasses, toys ..)

The boardwalk is free to access. Expect large crowds, but definitely worth a stroll in the summer. There is always something going on! Make sure to grab a Nathans Famous hot dog or lobster roll .

It isn't the nicest beach , it's because it's New York. Home of the best known amusement park . A lot of interesting things happen along the Boardwalk. You can't just visit once

The beach is totally underrated. Free, clean , and if you make the effort to walk east, away from the amusements, not crowded at all. A winner.

Street eats are always a fav. Try to steer clear of the modern take out fair I.e. Popeyes etc. grab a snack from the boardwalk or get that world Famous Nathan dog

Although it might seem like this place has seen its best years, its still a great spot! Especially in summer season the place literally lights up: you can see brilliant fireworks here on Friday night!

Checked out the Coney Island art walls this weekend. Combined with Smorgasburg food vendors serving it up in pastel-painted corrugated containers, THIS will be the hot spot of the summer

It is a must go during the summer in NYC. They have a Grimaldi's close to the subway and lines are smaller than in Dumbo branch. And Nathan 's Famous hot dog . Rides and Attractions are a biy pricey .

Just an awesome place to walk, eat, ride the games, hang out in general. No visit to NYC is complete without coming here.

awesome rides and an amazing amusement park to go to in the summer with your friends and it's worth your money and really fun and cool so everyone should go there

I love this beach and boardwalk! So fun and so nice to walk on the boardwalk and watch all the interesting people...and take pictures. I loved it here and can't wait to come back one day!

It's the easiest beach to get to from the city but boy, is at its capacity and more during the summer weekends. It's better to spend a few bucks and time to go to a better beach in Long Island .

Ride the cyclone , it's more fun than most wooden roller coasters . The Ferris wheel has a great view too. Lots of good people watching on the boardwalk. Don't forget to stop at Nathan 's.

Once you're at the beach , hang a right and walk all the way down to the end. Quieter and less crowded than the area around the pier .

come early in the day, before it gets hot, if you want to get a prime spot. you can also exit the subway one stop early to avoid a big rush of people; it's seriously a 5 minute difference in walking.

The cyclone is way better than I thought it’d be. Find one of the smaller Nathan’s so you aren’t queueing for 35 minutes!

FREE ACTIVITIES at Coney Island : Fireworks - every Friday night starting in June. Movies - Monday nights on the beach starting in July. Concerts - Thursday nights at 21st and Surf starting in July.

August 24th: Spend the day basking in the sun at Coney Island--and don’t forget to go for a spin on the iconic Wonder Wheel . Read more

Carnivalesque boardwalk and (not a very nice) beach . Good for people watching all of the weirdos and wandering around. Take a ride on the ferris wheel and eat fried dough with sugar or a hot dog .

Take the Q train from mid town Manhattan for scenic views over the Manhattan Bridge . After the Prospect Park station the train travels outside in an open cut or on embankment then,nice ocean views !

Walk the boardwalk until you find the person selling Mangos on a stick with chile powder and lime juice . So so good! Best thing here.

Make sure to walk the boardwalk! Sometimes they will have music also visit the Merry Go Round located on the boardwalk...old timers yes it use to be located on Coney Island last stop by the train exit

Nice walk along the boardwalk, not a big beach day but lots of fresh area. You can listen to all the activity as people scream from some of the roller coasters .

Loads to do with the family. A strange mix of touristy stuff and local flair. I really enjoyed it, so did the family. Now the beach is not the cleanest but if u r not super posh u won't die????
