Rockaway Beach

Rockaway Beach brings the coastal magic of surf and sand right to New York City's doorstep. The miles-long Atlantic shoreline draws sun-seekers and surfers all summer long. The area balances beachfront energy with quiet residential streets away from the boardwalk. The rebuilt boardwalk serves as the community's backbone with food vendors and gathering spaces. Locals ride the A train for their Manhattan commutes, though the journey takes over 90 minutes. Summer brings vibrant beach culture while winter offers peaceful shoreline solitude for those seeking a break from city life.

Broad Channel

Broad Channel offers a rare island escape within NYC, with Jamaica Bay waters surrounding this tight-knit waterfront community. Weathered wooden bungalows on stilts and boat-filled driveways create an authentic fishing village atmosphere just a subway ride from Manhattan. The peaceful area serves as a gateway to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Bird watchers and nature photographers will appreciate the abundant wildlife and salt marshes accessible from multiple fishing piers and boat launches. Fresh seafood at casual local spots complements the maritime experience. While limited in amenities, Broad Channel rewards visitors seeking lower-cost accommodation away from tourist crowds.

Edgemere

When in Edgemere and the surrounding area, you'll want to check out sights like Rockaway Beach or Atlantic Beach and hop on the metro to see more of the city at Beach 44 St. Station or Beach 60 St. Station.

Bayswater

"Great location, large rooms, especially for NYC. Everything was very clean, although there were signs of minor wear & tear. Beds were very comfortable. The lounge area was great for breakfast, drinks, or just having out. Staff was all very friendly & helpful. This is a very busy hotel, so check in lines were rather long at times. If you have the Bonvoy app, I suggest using it to check in. Would definitely stay here again!"
