Profile

On the eastern edge of New York's oft-dismissed fifth borough, this wide strip of sand serves as a summer playground for an eclectic crowd of families with strollers and leather-clad bikers. The free, lifeguarded beach looks out over New York Harbor and Brooklyn (check out the enormous Toys "R" Us warehouse) and offers a glorious, ant's-eye view of the Verrazano Bridge overhead. Nautical types will also enjoy the parade of motorboats, cargo ships, and ferries zooming within a buoy's breadth of the shore. There's a wide wooden boardwalk graced by picnic tables, a Ben & Jerry's cafe, and the South Fin Grill for upscale seafood (and Manhattan prices). — Candace Taylor
