Those seeking a slice of surf and sun can find it all summer long at Rockaway Beach. The 7-mile sandy oasis (which spans the shoreline from Beach 2nd Street to Beach 149th Street) is a popular destination for sunbathers and surfers, some pictured in our gallery here. If the photos inspire you, know that you can only really understand the culture and community by experiencing it in person—so grab your bathing suit and get going.
