surrounded depending on how you look at it.

You're right, I tend to look at things like that geographically, how silly of me.

Queens:

Rockaway Beach and Boardwalk- Seven and a half miles on the Atlantic Ocean from Beach 1st Street, Far Rockaway to Beach 149th Street, Neponsit, Queens. The easiest way to get there is to take the A Subway to Rockaway Park.

Staten Island:

South Beach, Midland Beach, Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk- Two and a half miles on Lower New York Bay from Fort Wadsworth to Miller Field, Nwew Dorp. The easiest way to get there is to take the #51 Bus from the ferry terminal.

Wolfe's Pond Beach- On Raritan Bay and Prince's Bay, Holton to Cornelia Aves.

(excludes Great Kills Park, which is a federal beach)


Brooklyn:

Coney Island Beach and Boardwalk- Two and a half miles on the Atlantic Ocean, from West 37th Street to Corbin Place in Brooklyn. The easiest way to get there is to take the B, D, F or N Subway to Coney Island. There tends to be lots of litter on this beach.
