Hello Beach lovers !!!
My favorite beach and only 30 minutes away!!!
Jacob Riis Park
Rockaway, Queens
A historic ocean beach and Art Deco bathhouse in the Rockaways
Dubbed “The People’s Beach,” Jacob Riis Park is a popular summer destination steeped in history. Opened in 1932, the restored Art Deco bathhouse is home to a variety of ranger-led programs and history exhibits. Facilities available in season include the Riis Park Pitch and Putt Golf Course, ball courts and food concessions. The park is named in honor of Jacob Riis, the famed New York City journalist and photographer who documented the plight of the poor and working class in the city’s tenements. Today, the park’s ocean beach and landscaped walkways, boardwalks and courtyards still provide city dwellers, many of them new immigrants, an opportunity to spread out and enjoy the open air.
