Plaže na Atlantic Beach Estates

The boardwalk, including the nature preserve, has been increasingly crowded. It's becoming more difficult to ride a bike on weekends without having to stop multiple times due to people not paying attention, even in the designated bike lanes. I've been living in Rockaway for a long time, about two years before Rockaway Playland closed, and it's now as crowded as it was back then. The construction work on the cement seawall has really picked up in the past few months. Today's photo.

Plaža je mirna in ni preveč gneča, vendar pa je prisotnost muh precej neprijetna in nadležna. Nimam namena se vrniti.

To je odlično mesto za opazovanje sončnega vzhoda in pozdravljanje prijaznih psov. Prišel sem okoli 5. ure zjutraj in imel celotno plažo zase, kar je bilo neverjetno. Po fotografiranju sem si privoščil kratek spanec in se zbudil v običajno gnečo. Užival sem v plavanju v močnih valovih. Zagotovo se bom vrnil še za več sončnih vzhodov in vam priporočam, da storite enako. Mimogrede, na svojem Samsungu sem posnel nekaj odličnih fotografij.

This stunning beach is one of many on the island, and we opted for this one primarily due to the parking cost, which was $15 for Nassau County residents and $37 for other visitors. It's more affordable compared to other nearby beaches that charge up to $50 for parking. Near the entrance, there was a small hut with bathrooms and showers in decent condition, along with a kiosk selling hot dogs, fries, nachos, and beverages. This was the only place to purchase food or drinks, as there were no other vendors on the beach, not even someone selling chilled sodas from a cooler. The same goes for other amenities—you need to bring everything you might need for the day, including a sun umbrella (since there is no shade and no rentals), seats, or refreshments, and also take everything out with you. The beach itself featured two watchtowers with lifeguards on duty, allowing swimming in a relatively wide section of the beach. However, there were signs warning of rip currents, and most people stayed close to the shore. The water was clean but not very clear, with some seaweed floating around. The sand was incredible—white-ish, smooth, and powdery—so be prepared to bring some of it home stuck to your feet. I found a few shells, but not many. Even though it was a hot, sunny Sunday afternoon with many people around, the beach didn't feel crowded, and everyone generally behaved well, with no excessive noise or loud music. This beach is also a great spot for birdwatching, especially near the dunes where there are fenced areas for nesting birds. However, no pets or dogs are allowed on the beach or in the dunes. Despite the beach park advertising a dog park, you still need to pay for parking to access it, which doesn't make much sense to me. Visited on a Sunday in July 2023. Paid by card.

»To popoldne sem se sprehodil po sprehajališču ob morju, kar je bil odličen način za malo rekreacije in uživanje na prostem. Ker je bilo zunaj malce hladno, je bilo na sprehajališču le nekaj ljudi, kar je vsaj za danes odpravilo skrbi glede Covida. Res je osvežujoče vdihniti svež zrak in narediti nekaj korakov. To je moje priljubljeno mesto za sprehode, še posebej, ko se vreme ogreje. Poslušanje zvokov vode in opazovanje ljudi, ki uživajo v čudoviti pokrajini, je resnično čarobno. Sem hodim na sprehode že od najstniških let.«

Odlično mesto
