JAMAICA Bay and Rockaway Beach, two of New York City’s waterfront areas spanning Brooklyn and Queens, are the latest destinations to feature in Neighborhood
x Neighborhood, a
marketing initiative by NYC & Company designed to increase awareness of some of the Big Apple’s ‘lesser known’ districts. From surfing the waves and kayaking inlets to biking in scenic surroundings and culinary offerings along the boardwalk, the waterfront neighbourhoods of Jamaica Bay and Rockaway Beach offer visitors plenty of ways to enjoy the summer in New York. Jamaica Bay is full of places to boat for beginners and experts and there are
several trips offered throughout the summer including canoeing, kayaking and sailing. Fresh Creek Nature Preserve is a perfect place to look for butterflies, birds and fish, and Paerdegat Basin leads into the Bergen Beach section of Jamaica Bay. Kayaks are available to rent. Jacob Riis Park, one of New York City’s most popular beaches, is home to a mile- long stretch of swimmable ocean and also has a boardwalk. Both Jamaica Bay and Rockaway Beach
are accessible by subway, bus, ferry, bike and car. New York City is made up of five distinct boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
