Hammock Grove — Attraction in New York

It was another adventure for me and my lady to experience. The boat that took us to the island was fast and convenient.. we road the upper deck of the boat and the sea breeze was quite cool and comfortable. We got to the island in less then 10 minutes, wishing the ride was longer. We arrived at the island and my first impressions was some what lacking in excitement.

The hammock grove is kind of hidden but follow the signs and you will find them. Also, the hammocks are spread across.
