About the neighborhood
The city's only surf beach
Rockaway Beach holds New York City's only legal surfing beach, with a boardwalk that stretches for miles along the Atlantic. Quiet side streets keep clusters of historic bungalows, compact-porched survivors of the neighborhood's early 20th-century life as a seaside escape, mixed with postwar apartment buildings and newer construction in an eclectic, lived-in blend.
The boardwalk is the communal heart: sunrise yoga, playgrounds, food vendors, and family-run eateries and surf shops. Surf schools and clubs teach newcomers to ride the waves and work to keep the culture welcoming, and summer brings musicians and picnicking families to the sand. Hurricane Sandy hit hard, and the rebuilding that followed deepened a commitment to sustainability and to looking out for one another. The draw is escape without leaving the city: sky, water, and open horizon.
