Glen Island Beach — Attraction in City of New Rochelle

Fairly clean bathrooms are very close which is nice. $10 parking per car and $10 beach entry per person is a bit steep, but I guess otherwise the crowds might be out of control. The rest of the park was filled with people having BBQs playing music from all around the world and having...
