Beach In Fort Washington Park

An interesting area. The bottom is sandy. Not rock or mud as might be expected. Except I was swimming here at low tide and the bottom is very muddy if you go out a bit. As the area creates a bit of a cove, its kind of sheltered from the Hudson River currents. One day I was here when there was a bit of a wind and it seemed the wind had more effect on me than the current. While this is the first place I ever swam in the Hudson from the shore, I don't love it because if the wind is blowing from the south (which is quite typical in summer) you may get whiffs of an offputting smell from the the North River Wastewater Treatment plant a little over a mile to the south. One day the guy who does the Sisyphus Stones thing to the south was burning some incense which nicely counteracted the offputting wastewater treatment plant smell.
