The park boasts an Art Deco bathhouse built in the 1930s and seasonal consession stands. It’s less crowded than neighboring Rockaway Beach and offers spacious sandy areas, picnic spots, and sports courts. **Fort Tilden**: Fort Tilden Beach is one of New York City's hidden gems. Once serving as a military defense site, today, remnants of its past subtly blend with the natural surroundings. Nearby dunes and maritime forests provide a refreshing backdrop. **Gateway National Recreation Area**: A short distance away is this incredible National Park, covering over 26,000 acres of marshes, wildlife habitats, beaches, and historic sites.
