Orchard Beach

Bronx

The Bronx's only beach feels like a secret the rest of the city forgot. This crescent-shaped stretch on Long Island Sound serves up calm waters, actual shade trees, and a promenade that comes alive with salsa and weekend barbecues. Built in the 1930s as "The Riviera of New York," it's where locals escape the crowds and sunburn isn't a personality trait.
