NYC Beaches Open for the Summer Saturday!

Article by Amy Sara Clark

True it's supposed to rain, but it's still good to know that all NYC beaches officially open on May 25. 

The city's Parks Department's 14 miles of beach, including Brighton Beach and Coney Island, will be open daily from 10 a.m. To 6 p.m. through Labor Day weekend.

For those of us on the Q/B line, Brighton Beach can be reached in hop, skip and a jump. While you're there pick up some very cheap fruit and try one of the zillion Russian restaurants. 

It's also an easy bike ride, nearly all of which is in Prospect Park or protected bike lanes. See my directions here.
