🎢🏖️🌊🐟🎡🗽🌭🐚🩴Iconic New York and Iconic Brooklyn at their finest.✨ It’s a part of the boardwalk right next to Coney Island. In the spring and summer, it’s great for a day trip. Highlights include:✔️New York Aquarium 🐟🐠🐡✔️Boardwalk✔️Luna Park 🎡🎢✔️Nathans Hot Dog 🌭✔️Breathtaking sunset vista 🌅🌞☀️✔️Hot Dog eating contest in the summer 🌭✔️Mermaid Parade in the summer 🧜♀️🧜♂️✔️Accessible by the B, D, F, N and Q TrainsNote on the aquarium: 💦💧🦈🐟🐠🐡🌊🦞🦑🦭. A classic at Coney Island and the boardwalk. Sharks, 4d theatre, daily performances from sea lion... and the list goes on. Well worth it for the whole family, kids and parents alike. Better than what is in the American Dream Mall. The aquarium also has been renovated several years ago, so it looks super modern. Is this the most beautiful waters in the world? No. But is it a fun and memorable experience? Absolutely. It gets packed in the summer though.
The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a consumer’s mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind.Our recent interest has been Sunset hunting and we looked up the internet for sunset places and that’s how ran into this beautiful spot. To start off with the most important part, Don’t worry about the parking as they have a dedicated free Municipal parking right by the beach and there also free street parking spots available near the children’s park.It was almost 4:35 (sunset time) at Brighton beach that we arrived here and had to run towards the sun to get a better picture. Wish we had arrived here at least 15 mins earlier to watch the fuller sun (May be return for a different day). The sunset still looked spectacular and is one of the best we have seen.The beach looked clean and well maintained and it was surprising for us, considering it’s vastness- speaking of which, there’s enough social distancing for everyone. There’s a Children’s park facility adjacent to the parking area that was buzzing with kids.If you are a sunset lover, do check out this place!
Beautiful experience along is very addicted but I so lucky many many of things and times there. I see the sunset gorgeous. The morning is same as pictorial . Sunshine is possible to look at magic. Always nice fresh air....soon I come back to visit and highly recommending.
Amazing place for kids and adults. It is clean and maintained well. When we went it was a cloudy and rainy day. Still enjoyed ourselves. Didnt went on any rides but others were having fun on it. I would recommend this place to everyone. Hopefully can visit this place next time when the weather is better.
Scenic beachfront with boardwalk. Very lively in warm weather, with buskers entertaining the crowds. The beach’s surf is tame, and overall it is fairly clean for New York City’s standards. Police often patrol the boardwalk, so crime is minimal. Dining al fresco in the few eateries which line the boardwalk.
Beautiful beach, very conveniently located for NYC. Variety of attractions- from cafe Volna to early bird vodka shots. The beach is clean and peaceful yet very live during the hot season. Highly recommended for city visitors, looking for nostalgia - the time has been frozen in 80s in some parts of the area. Parking lot for residents only
Great place to have a late evening walk along the boardwalk. Variety of good cuisine as well as the pleasure rides. Definitely recommend to see it lit up as you walk towards Coney Island. Plenty of amenities for the daytime with restrooms, lifeguard station and showers to rinse sand off.
Ive been to almost all the beaches on the Long Island but I must say that Brighton Beach is the best one because of its cleanliness and the great atmosphere.Its a perfect spot for photography as the sun is directly on your face. Also, its a beach in Brooklyn which can be reached by just boarding the A train.Fun place for families to spend the weekends away from the city.
Coney Island can be underrated sometimes, and its mostly because of the crowds, and if were being honest, the surrounding neighborhood isnt as well developed [read gentrified] as other parts of Brooklyn. Which might add to the rumor milling as well. Most well to do families or transplants might favor the Long Island beaches, or even the Jersey Shore time permitting.But theres something to be said about Coney Island in that it uniquely feels like a city beach, and I love that - kind of like South Beach in Miami. They are the kind of places you can waddle out of the water, and find some local eateries just across the street, or just hop back on the subway and be anywhere else in half an hour. On top of which it has amusement park!!! I personally may never ride those rides but when your closest other options at this scale are in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, this is a no-brainer for a regular summer weekend.
This is both a historical and local beach, excellent for walking on the boardwalk, people watching, and laying down your blanket over the sand to catch some rays on a nice and not so humid day. Yes, it could use some cleaning up but that aside, it can be a nostalgic stroll along Brighton Beach.
It was much more fun, than even I could imagine. So many sights/sounds and rides and even arcades. No way to get it all in, in only one visit. The boardwalk is iconic, the view from all directions is amazing. And have to mention the chili-fries, and of course the corny dogs from Nathans
Pretty cool place I think everybody loves to go there. This Place is just lovely everybodys having a good time Im kind of jealous I dont get to go to it very often but if you go there enjoy yourself. Anyway this place doesnt need to review its historic thousands if not millions of people go here in the summertime its a must go see place.

2022-01-18I always try to find the time to come here just to see the beach and the sunset. Most times, Id record to capture memories. But most of all, its also where my husband and I would meet. Theres an invisible connection that connects me to this place. Its the environment, the people, the food. And I feel so at peace seeing and being at Brighton Beach. I hope others have also felt the same way. And if not, I hope theres some connection or inspiration connecting you to this wonderful place.

2022-03-02Its nice to have in the winter time a beach with sand and ocean to see. Came here in February to get some fresh air away from city life. It was relaxing and nice sunset to see.

2022-06-29Great place to stay and rest. Nice and clean beach, close to public transportation and a lot of stores around. Also it is not far from the Aquarium and Luna Park, it takes only 10-15 minutes of walk. 👍👍👍

2022-05-01My favorite beach since childhood. More low-key than Coney Island a little further down. A great place to take in the sun and some Atlantic air.

2022-06-10Brighton is peaceful and relaxing there should be a rest area. To avoid using the public sea.

2022-06-06Great place, Russian-speaking experience - but - has been going downhill over the last ten years. Boardwalk is worn out - dangerous in some places, falls/trips possible. Security is MIA - mostly concentrated around Coney Island, not here. Dirty.
