The former Water Taxi Beach location has kept the 300 pounds of  sand left by its former occupant, but the rejiggered drinkery now  features a menu from Buddakan alum Jason Mayer. Settle into a communal  wood table with a wurst, burger or lobster roll, or hit up one of the  game tables for a round of Ping-Pong, pool or foosball. Beer lovers can  grab one of six drafts\u2014such as Sixpoint Crisp Lager, Ommegang Witte Beer  and Magic Hat #9\u2014at two long driftwood bars.

While some might say its peak has come and gone, others would disagree, particularly Dick Zigun, the founder of Coney Island USA, the nonprofit responsible for organizing Coney Island&#8217;s famed events, including the Mermaid Parade. &#8220;The beach is still the main attraction,&#8221; says Zigun of the shore&#8217;s three miles of southern exposure. &#8220;Some people might prefer the Riviera or Montauk, and maybe our sand isn&#8217;t as pristine, but we&#8217;ve got half-naked New Yorkers here!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Daily<strong><br \/>\nRockaway Beach and Boardwalk<\/strong><br \/>\nBoardwalk, (between Beach 9th and Beach 149th Sts)<br \/>\nFree<\/p>\n<p>Encompassing more than 170 acres of sand, this family-friendly beach attracts New Yorkers from all five boroughs. Seven playgrounds keep kids happy while wave riders enjoy the city&#8217;s only surfing areas. Fishing, skating, volleyball, sunning and, of course, swimming are also favorite activities. Rockaway Beach is also an excellent place to test your surfing prowess. If you&#8217;re a novice, summer is the ideal time to start riding low waves, while more experienced boarders should savor hurricane season (September and October).<\/p>\n<p>For more info, please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/attractions\/best-beaches\">http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/attractions\/best-beaches<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Beekman Beach Beer Garden North side of Pier 17, Beekman St, (at South St)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21960"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21966,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21960\/revisions\/21966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
