The People's Beach at Jacob Riis Park

Rockaway Park

Since the 1940s, this soft sandy stretch has been a refuge where queerness is celebrated freely. The historic Art Deco bathhouse anchors a scene where tops are optional, the vibe is genuinely communal, and the waves crash strong enough to remind you you're still in New York.
