Review & FAQ:
The East Shore of Staten Island has been a beach destination for New York residents since the 19th Century. Once called "The Riviera of New York City," the historic 2 mile-long South Beach Boardwalk has been recently restored and now offers new playing fields, fountains, and a lovely, clean, sandy beach with lifeguards on duty. The 835-foot-long Ocean Breeze Fishing Pier, popular with strollers as much as with fishermen, is one of the longest in the city. There is a shady gazebo, a few snack bars, and a restaurant and all enjoy fantastic views of the beach and the ocean. Summer brings regular concerts and the popular annual Back to the Beach festival.
