Rockaway Beach

Rockaway Beach brings the coastal magic of surf and sand right to New York City's doorstep. The miles-long Atlantic shoreline draws sun-seekers and surfers all summer long. The area balances beachfront energy with quiet residential streets away from the boardwalk. The rebuilt boardwalk serves as the community's backbone with food vendors and gathering spaces. Locals ride the A train for their Manhattan commutes, though the journey takes over 90 minutes. Summer brings vibrant beach culture while winter offers peaceful shoreline solitude for those seeking a break from city life.

Edgemere

When in Edgemere and the surrounding area, you'll want to check out sights like Rockaway Beach or Atlantic Beach and hop on the metro to see more the city at Beach 44 St. Station or Beach 60 St. Station.

"I came there for a Jonas Brothers concert at Madison Square Garden with my two 9 year old girls and was ecstatic. The hotel was directly across the street, they gave us early check in so we could drop our bags and explore for lunch before the concert. We came back from the concert around 11 and had dinner at the tick tock diner which was DELICIOUS! Over all the hotel staff and rooms were amazing and we will definitely be back soon!"
