By: Gabrielle Sierra
New York City's beaches will officially open on Saturday, May 28. Lifeguards will be on duty daily, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Swimming is strictly prohibited at all other times. Beaches will remain open through Labor Day weekend.
For over 85 years, Coney Island Beach and the Riegelmann Boardwalk have been a source of timeless enjoyment for millions of visitors. They remain an unparalleled destination for summer fun, people-watching, scenic ocean views and exquisite breezes. Coney Island Beach and Boardwalk have seen several major improvements over the past few years, including boardwalk reconstructions, new comfort stations at West 22nd, West 27th and West 33rd Streets, and brightly painted trash receptacles from the "Boardwalk Barrels of Fun" competition.
