This location was wildly unfamiliar to us. We know nothing about The Rockaways. We are so happy we took a chance. Many folks warned us about the areas below 116th...but everything about the gated Marina 59...the service...Raj and Michael...the vessel...the view...the sunset...the neighbors...the charm...all of it...fun and unique and safe. We checked out the Wharf on B 116th for lunch...solid lobster roll...and a very inexpensive array of beers. Super service. The supermarket is clean and convenient...10 steps outside the gate. We walked down 59th to the ocean beach ...wonderful location. Lifeguards on duty. The nighttime sleeping was lovely, quiet and bugless. We hope to visit again.
