Description
Home to a restored art deco bathhouse, a pitch-and-putt golf course, ball courts, boardwalks and a mile-long stretch of swimmable ocean, Jacob Riis Park is one of New York City’s most popular beaches. Designed in 1936 by Robert Moses, the famous New York City urban planner who also designed Long Island’s Jones Beach, Jacob Riis is one of the area’s only beaches that can be reached by bus, subway, car or ferry.
