I visited for the 1st time on labor day because I wanted to explore a new area on the last day of summer. I enjoyed my time here for the following reasons. 1st there's no fee to enter,park or to have access to the beach. There are actual restrooms, play area for kids. There's a restaurant on the boardwalk which is the only one I saw,and another spot to grab, fries burgers ice cream etc. You'll have a great view of the verrazano bridge and the lower ny bay. Dog friendly and you're allowed to ride your bike. However few of the boards need maintenance. Only downside if you don't live on the island and you're driving in There's the toll you must pay. If you try getting here by ferry is not convenient at all driving is the best option. It was a great choice to visit and spend my last the of summer. Overall I had a pleasant experience definitely recommended, you don't see any crazy crowds at least not while...

I recommend you go to this place if you want to fish or enjoy the...

It's peaceful, never too crowded, the views are awesome, and it's near the S51 and S52 buses from the Staten Island Ferry. You can also take the S79 or S53 from Bayridge in Brooklyn, and it's not a long walk from Hylan Boulevard. If you're looking for a beach getaway I highly recommend it! Yes, Coney Island and Rockaway Beach are good, but this place is an oasis away from the chaos of New York City without having to...
