Relatively clean & water has no smell with Lifeguards showers & changing area. But I personally do not go in the water as it's a bit too dark for my liking. But I love going to relax and sunbathe while people watching. The entrance is $10 per car and theres a bbq area and plenty of space for family gathering. Keep in mind that it gets super crowded on the weekends and holiday. I recommend going early.

Compared to other beaches, there is less space to spread out because much of the land is roped off for nature preserve. Family friendly but folks were too close to one another IMO. I will say though, that the water seemed less littered with plastic and random waste, and I didn't have to tread through rocks and sharp shells to go in waist deep. That was a welcome surprise. WHEN: 7/12/20 WHERE: beach HOW: bike/ public transportation Q35 BATHROOM: 2 options, just off the water are port o johns. In the park area closer to the stables are separate gender restrooms. I used neither. WIFI: beats me DRESS CODE: as you wish SERVICE: n/a

Probably one of the best beaches in the city, simply because no one comes here. And the people that…read moredo are really nice and respectful. It's a serene spot, and you can find some naturalists and hipsters along the way. There are lots of rules, which can be a little annoying and they are heavily enforced, like no dogs on the beach and no alcohol. I hate that there are park rangers all over the place. There are no lifeguards on duty, so even if you're a good swimmer, don't go out too far in the water. The beach is immaculately clean with little trash, although it would be nice to see some more trash cans set up.

I absolutely loved the Gansevoort Peninsula! I'm so glad my friend suggested we walk over there. We…read morespent a long time strolling, people-watching, and taking in the incredible views of the Hudson River and lower Manhattan skyline. The area is beautifully designed, with plenty of places to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. There's even a sandy beach area with umbrellas and Adirondack chairs that gives the whole place a laid-back, vacation vibe right in the middle of New York City. We saw people picnicking, exercising, walking their dogs, and simply enjoying the outdoors. One of the things I found especially interesting was the salt marsh on the north side of the peninsula. It's the first one on the Manhattan side of the Hudson River and is helping to restore the local ecosystem with native plants and millions of oysters. It's a great reminder that even in a bustling city, nature can thrive. Between the river views, public art, green spaces, and endless opportunities for people-watching, this was one of my favorite discoveries on this trip. I could have stayed for hours just soaking it all in. I need to bring others here and share the beauty of NY with them!

At thr entrance just to the left there a sandy area. A little pretend beach as my kids say. Complete with beach chairs and umbrellas. There's a designated dog run area but pets are allowed on leashes in other areas. A cafe is near the right side entrance (leads to the soccer/sport field) . Bathrooms are at that end as well, they were in decent condition. Great area for taking in the sunset.

It has a fake little sand/beach area. Over looks Manhattan, there is also a wrist band needed for every 45min shift. For 15 mins each hour the pool is tested.

Hubs and I have been hounding our friends- who are Jones Beach die-hard fanatics to change their annual beach party here instead. So pat on our backs- because we convinced them. Plus this is the break hubs and I needed to enjoy the beach as we've been busy practically every weekend. There are a few fields with a couple of them being 'radio-free'. Even with the allowed music in Field 5 that our friends chose, folks are respectful of their surroundings. Amenities for Field 5 include a children's playground, showers, clean Women/Men restrooms, not sure if this Field has a food concession stand/ sit down restn't. If you park in Field 5 towards the very far end and hoof it a bit, it'll give you easy access to the Fire Island Lighthouse. Sand is clean- almost powdery and the water is pristine. This is a trek from Westchester- but it's worth it.
