Breezy Point Tip

We wanted to visit breezy point just for a walk since we heard it is a beautiful beach. But at the entrance to the village, we got stop by someone who told us that we can’t access breezy point since we do not have a permit. Now I wonder, why do I need a permit to walk bug the ocean? I understand if you want to go fishing or hunting, but just a walk by the water is also something you need to pay for these days?
Very disappointing, and people should know it.

I love this place, isolated and private not to mention incredibly clean. I can’t even tell you how lucky i was to be here.

I love it out here and great for fishing. Sort of a magical slice of quiet in the City. Takes some trekking to get out to the tip!

This secluded beach is only accessible by car, making it feel relatively untouched and 100s miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Breezy Point beach club is also pretty cool, feeling like something out of the 1950s. For a fee of $ 20 pp per day, you have access to the pool, private beach, restaurant, and bar. $ 50 gets u a cabana with kitchen and shower.
Although it’s a bit dated, if u have a car, it’s a cool random spot to spend and afternoon.
Decent fishing can be had down by the rock jetty, and I’ve heard that there is also a decent surf break there, but bc its soooo out of the way, there wasn’t anyone there the day we checked it out.

Sort of like going to Fort Tilden, but without the military ruins, toilets, trash, bus service, and crowds.
The widest, quietest, cleanest, most isolated beach in New York City.

And for my 400^th review– The Breezy Point Tip
One of the few places within the city limits that transports you to somewhere else. Very cliché, yes, but while rounding the coastal grass laden penninsula, gazing over past Russian fisherman, its hard to think otherwise. While looking Southward, there are no signs of the city save for very few, and interesting, pieces of flotsam.
The Tip is where the the Raritan and Jamaica Bays shed their negative connotations and regain their intrinsic beauty. There are lots of birds here and even more surprising, SUVs driven down to the water’s edge– Cali style.
Now, I know you think you are cool because–
1.you have been to the Rockaways once
2. You think Fort Tilden is really cool and unique
3. Have a friend who has been in the exclusively strange Irish-​Riviera enclave bearing the parks name
But go park in the little sand parking lot on Beach 227^th, walk through the dunes to the NW shore and take the hour and a half around the beach, onto the strange boulder rockway, past the stripped bass fisherman and their SUV’s sitting on stock rims in the surf, to the weird walkways that are semi enclosed with some sort of bird protection element into the village and back to the car.
Thats the really cool thing to do, and then blog/​tweet about it.
