- The Corcoran GroupJune 4, 2013One of those rare are the places in NYC where you can let your pup sink their paws in the sand while taking in the ocean breeze throughout the year. Treat him to a Nathan's famous hot dogs after!
- Adam SherlipApril 24, 2013There's few places as quintessential Brooklyn as Coney Island. Big personalities, great food (Nathan's, Totonno's) & amusements (Cyclone & the Cyclones) on the Atlantic make this one-of-a-kind BK.Upvoted 1 week ago
- Stephanie LowSeptember 1, 2014Free entries to Coney Island and Luna park, only paying for the rides. Multiple 'famous' restaurants for hot dogs & fries. And the beach and boardwalk just out front is also a popular destination.
- Honestly, a very fun place to walk around and take it all in, walk the nice boardwalk, just re done not to long ago and enjoy the rides and the food. You will def not be let down it regards to fun!
- The Corcoran GroupMarch 6, 2013Take a break from the concrete jungle at this much improved beach and interesting boardwalk. Get a Nathan's Hot Dog, Shoot the Freak, down a beer or just walk. It's our favorite nearby escape.
- Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019The boardwalk is free to access. Expect large crowds, but definitely worth a stroll in the summer. There is always something going on! Make sure to grab a Nathans Famous hot dog or lobster roll.
- It isn't the nicest beach, it's because it's New York. Home of the best known amusement park. A lot of interesting things happen along the Boardwalk. You can't just visit once
- Dilara❥August 30, 2014A great sand beach in NY. It's crowded but still good. Great place to have lunch, and it is right by the adventure park. There's also a store that sells all beach items (towels, sunglasses, toys..)
- No better introduction to winter than swimming with the Polar Bears on New Years Day on Coney Island Beach. 1pm. Bring a towel. Read more
- New York HabitatMarch 7, 2012Although it might seem like this place has seen its best years, its still a great spot! Especially in summer season the place literally lights up: you can see brilliant fireworks here on Friday night!
- SamanthaJuly 2, 2012The beach is totally underrated. Free, clean, and if you make the effort to walk east, away from the amusements, not crowded at all. A winner.
- Mary M MottaMay 28, 2015come early in the day, before it gets hot, if you want to get a prime spot. you can also exit the subway one stop early to avoid a big rush of people; it's seriously a 5 minute difference in walking.
- Cole KennedyJuly 4, 2015Once you're at the beach, hang a right and walk all the way down to the end. Quieter and less crowded than the area around the pier.
- IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJune 15, 2015Checked out the Coney Island art walls this weekend. Combined with Smorgasburg food vendors serving it up in pastel-painted corrugated containers, THIS will be the hot spot of the summer
- Tariq AhmadOctober 1, 2017A little piece of a local state fair without feeling like you are in NYC. Great place to walk around, especially in the summer.
- Caio TurbianiSeptember 1, 2014It is a must go during the summer in NYC. They have a Grimaldi's close to the subway and lines are smaller than in Dumbo branch. And Nathan's Famous hot dog. Rides and Attractions are a biy pricey.
- Ailie ChangJune 4, 2016Walk the boardwalk until you find the person selling Mangos on a stick with chile powder and lime juice. So so good! Best thing here.

- Mariana PantalenaOctober 26, 2015The boardwalk is very nice. Lots of parks and rides to go, plus you have a view of the ocean. However, don't go wondering around the neighborhood's behind the boardwalk, they're not safe!
- Penny-Merelle GrayOctober 20, 2018The cyclone is way better than I thought it’d be. Find one of the smaller Nathan’s so you aren’t queueing for 35 minutes!
- Charles PetkanasApril 13, 2014Take the Q train from mid town Manhattan for scenic views over the Manhattan Bridge. After the Prospect Park station the train travels outside in an open cut or on embankment then,nice ocean views!

- Swift SwiftAugust 2, 2015Ride the cyclone, it's more fun than most wooden roller coasters. The Ferris wheel has a great view too. Lots of good people watching on the boardwalk. Don't forget to stop at Nathan's.
- Luis BastardoJuly 13, 2015It's the easiest beach to get to from the city but boy, is at its capacity and more during the summer weekends. It's better to spend a few bucks and time to go to a better beach in Long Island.
- Aizen KusumiAugust 1, 2015Loads to do with the family. A strange mix of touristy stuff and local flair. I really enjoyed it, so did the family. Now the beach is not the cleanest but if u r not super posh u won't die😜
- Mohamed ElsananJuly 28, 2015A lot of musical booths in the summer everyone attracting you by his way which make the shore like a festival especially in weekends
- Mary JasenAugust 12, 2017Nice walk along the boardwalk, not a big beach day but lots of fresh area. You can listen to all the activity as people scream from some of the roller coasters.
- May A.June 22, 2018Always bring a sweater as NYC has the most unpredictable weather ever. It’s right beside the beach so it can really get windy and chilly.
- Scott CautionJune 12, 2017If Nathan's is busy skip it this time. Margarita at Paul's Daughter was great.

- A BCDAugust 5, 2015Carnivalesque boardwalk and (not a very nice) beach. Good for people watching all of the weirdos and wandering around. Take a ride on the ferris wheel and eat fried dough with sugar or a hot dog.
- Julie SosciaAugust 2, 2018Expect large crowds, but definitely worth a stroll--fun vibe with a mix of crowds. Make sure to grab a hot dog or lobster roll.

- Romel SantosNovember 1, 2011With the cold weather approaching, taking a nice stroll on the boardwalk can be a romantic adventure. Just think of keeping each other warm as you'll most likely have the entire beach to yourselves...
