Go to the beach!
Prepare yourself for a second season of outdoor fun! Starting Memorial Day weekend, the beaches in New York City will be open for swimming and tanning.
When the weather gets warm and muggy, you should visit one, if not all, of the best beaches NYC has to offer. These beaches in New York are only a short subway, ferry, or bus ride away, so they're perfect for weekend getaways, camping trips, Airbnb stays on the oceanfront, or just looking for a place to cool off with friends.
Fortunately, you won't have to spend your summer pleading for a car loan or shelling out hefty rental costs. No matter which borough you're in, only a little public transportation stands between you and a summer vacation in New York, where miles of seashore are accessible by subway, bus, ferry, or bicycle. All you have to do is choose one of the beaches where you can chow down on famous hot dogs, drink questionable cocktails, or simply relax in the sun.
