Coney Island Beach & Boardwalk

cool to finally see this place. beach is freezing, overcrowded, dirty, and a bit boring with like zero parking. the amusement park looks cool but pricy. food has lots of offerings and lots of cool vendors around as well as artists and performers. worth a stop on your tourism bucket list.

Coney Island is a must-see stop to include among New York’s attractions. Easy to reach by subway, first with the express and then the local line, it welcomes you with a truly unique atmosphere. Walking along the boardwalk brings back memories of so many movies filmed here and gives a feeling of nostalgia and magic. The amusement park, one of the oldest in the world, still has incredible charm: even if a bit rundown, it has an authentic soul that makes the experience unforgettable. Definitely worth a visit!

I love this place! I did not have a chance to try any ride but i still had a fun and enjoyable time there!

I stayed there from the afternoon to late at night. The available restrooms till night makes it available for a longer stay!

Fun free fireworks summer Fridays until Labor Day. Bring a blanket, listen to the waves, and have a pre-fireworks picnic. Then, watch the awesome fireworks right on the beach. Perfect summer night activity for the whole family!

Coney island is a MUST visit for any au pair (and tourist, and honestly locals should give it a go as well). So many rides, great food and it's not very expensive.

Remember that you'll get wet during the water rides (I assured my friend it looked like everyone stayed dry and boy was I wrong 🤣)
