Best NYC Beaches by Ferry or Train

This week's picks for NYC parents from Mommy Poppins. Find awesome amusement parks near NYC in our [Theme & Water Parks Guide](. [Best NYC Beaches by Ferry or Train]( [Coney Island's shores are easy to get to, and action packed from the rides to the waves. Photo courtesy of NYC Parks] There are 14 miles of beautiful beaches in NYC, with sandy shores to explore in four of the city's five boroughs, and many are easily accessible by ferry or train. Soon, there will even be a [beach in Manhattan](. As much as we enjoy hitting the [Jersey Shore]( [Fire Island]( and other [Long Island beaches]( we're not big fans of renting cars and sitting in traffic. Luckily it's easy to hit the sand and surf by taking a ferry or subway to these beaches in NYC. From the ["Bronx Rivera"]( to iconic [Coney Island]( and [the Rockaways]( these urban seasides often offer just about everything suburban ones do—except the out-of-town commute.

Lucky for us, the Hudson Valley region is filled with off-the-beaten-path swimming holes that are well worth the time it takes to find them. While some of the swimming holes on this list are established local swimming spots, we have included some more remote spots that require a bit of a hike but afford a little more privacy. For some of the spots, it would be helpful to wear water shoes, while others will require hiking boots. As always, be aware of wildlife in the area, and please use eco-friendly sunscreen and bug spray to avoid contaminating the pristine ecosystems.
