New York City, New York
Coney Island is a world-famous seaside entertainment destination in Brooklyn. Known for its amusement parks, boardwalk, and beach, it has been a playground for New Yorkers for over a century.
The Riegelmann Boardwalk, Nathan's Famous original hot dog stand, and the historic parachute jump tower are iconic landmarks.
Stroll the boardwalk, eat a hot dog, visit the New York Aquarium, watch the Friday night fireworks in summer, or relax on the sand.
Summer (June to August) is peak season for all attractions. Visit in shoulder seasons (May/Sept) for milder weather and fewer crowds.
Access to the beach and boardwalk is free. Amusement parks and aquarium require tickets. Street parking is scarce; paid lots are available.
Public restrooms are located along the boardwalk. Changing pavilions and outdoor showers are available during beach season.
Take the D, F, N, or Q subway to Coney Island-Stillwell Ave. It's a scenic ride crossing the bridge into Brooklyn. Bring cash for smaller food vendors.
Luna Park, Deno's Wonder Wheel Park, and Brighton Beach are all immediately adjacent.
