With temperatures soaring in New York City, a trip to the beach becomes a necessity. While the Jersey Shore or the Hamptons may be great weekend getaway options, Rockaway Beach in Queens is without a doubt the best option for a quick day trip. Head to the eastern edge of New York City to find adventure, an ever changing roster of delicious eateries and ongoing cultural events.  <\/span><\/p>\n

On a hot summer day, the best part of being by the beach is finding the water. In Rockaway you can rent a surfboard from Breakwater Surf, Boarders or Station or for newer surfers take a beginner class with <\/span>Skudin Surf School<\/span><\/a>. For calmer waters, <\/span>explore Jamaica Bay<\/span><\/a> by stand up paddleboard or try your hand at SUP yoga with A Team Paddleboarding to find some zen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eats + Drinks:\"Rockaway

The go-to spot for post beach eats & drinks is the <\/span>Rockaway Beach Surf Club <\/span><\/a>where Tacoway Beach serves up its famous fish tacos in the club\u2019s backyard patio. Or try out Rockaway Beach\u2019s newest eatery, Bistro 96, a Brazilian cafe offering everything from A\u00e7a\u00ed Bowls to pastries (Brazilian empanadas) and fresh fruit juices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Insider Tips: <\/b>Get your culture on by checking out the installations by the <\/span>Rockaway Artists Alliance<\/span><\/a> or attending free dance performances at the annual <\/span>Beach Sessions<\/a>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n


\nHow to Get There: <\/b>The A train will take you directly to the beaches from 67th street and down. To get to the higher number beaches (90 and up) switch to the S train at Broad Channel.
