The oceanfront beach at Coney Island is the most popular in New York City, and the ideal getaway on a steamy summer day.  Stretching along 2.3 miles of this sandy beach is the Riegelmann Boardwalk, one of the most historic boardwalks in the U.S.

One-of-a-kind eateries, and entertainment venues you can only find in Coney Island - including the Lola Staar Boutique, Ruby's Bar and Grill, the Coney Island Beach Shop, and the inimitable Shoot the Freak - line the boardwalk, linking the beach to the rest of America's playground, Coney Island.
