As cute as it looks, this is a fantastic getaway for some sad Manhattan/Brooklynites who want a relatively inexpensive, highly accessible weekend trip where they can breathe fresh air and see the horizon. I was blown away by the amenities within walking distance, so many solid restaurants and excellent ice cream and multiple bodegas like 3 mins away by foot. Beach is close enough you’ll actually go, multiple times. My only caveat to future travelers is that this is NYC. I lived here until a year ago. You must come with NYC expectations. It’s loud, it’s vibrant, people drive like they’re in the city not at the beach, the subway works but not perfectly. Would not recommend for a family who wants to do day trips into the city. Perfect for me and my partner who wanted to see friends in Brooklyn and Manhattan at odd hours and already knew what the A train was all about. If you know what you’re in for, this is perfection!
