Rockaway Beach: the heart of surfing in New York City
Rockaway Beach is the only place where you can legally ride a surfboard in the New York metropolitan area.
The serene East Coast beach resort and neighborhood in the borough of Queens is the go-to surfing destination for wave riders from the City of Dreams and the New York State.
But it is also the most popular NYC beach for non-surfers, with thousands of people flocking to its sands during summer.
