context_page_description: The Rockaway Peninsula, commonly referred to as The Rockaways or Rockaway, is the name of a peninsula within the New York City borough of Queens on Long Island, New York. Relatively isolated from Manhattan and other more urban parts of the city, Rockaway became a popular summer retreat in the 1830s. It has since become a mixture of lower, middle, and upper-class neighborhoods. In the 2010s, it became one of the city's most quickly gentrifying areas.
  The peninsula is divided into nine neighborhoods or sections. From east to west, they are:
  Far Rockaway, from the Nassau County line to Beach 32nd Street;
  Bayswater, located to the northeast of Far Rockaway, along the southeastern shore of Jamaica Bay
  Edgemere, from Beach 32nd Street to Beach 56th Street;
  Arverne, from Beach 56th Street to Beach 79th Street;
  Rockaway Beach, from 79th Street to Beach 108th Street;
  Rockaway Park, from Beach 108th Street to Beach 126th Street;
  Belle Harbor, from Beach 126th Street to Beach 141st Street;
  Neponsit, Beach 141st Street to Beach 149th Street;
  Breezy Point, from Beach 149th to the western tip.
