Beach Time

Even though my favorite, Rockaway Beach, has been taken over by horrible construction that has blocked most beach access, I still go out there every summer and find a corner of sand to sulk on.

So before you go, check out this NRDC report that rates New York beaches. I was very happy to notice that Rockaway Beach gets a perfect score, along with some parts of Coney Island. Not surprisingly, the bays and lakes and inlets are more polluted than the regular ocean beaches.

Don't forget to wear sunscreen.
