Coney Island Beach & Boardwalk
1904 Surf Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11224
Brooklyn's iconic 2.7-mile Riegelmann Boardwalk fronts nearly 3 miles of Atlantic beach backed by old-school amusement rides, Nathan's, and the Cyclone. Loud, crowded, and unapologetically urban — the boardwalk is mid-reconstruction into the 2030s but the beach stays open.
