Rockaway Beach Club

Managing the boardwalk concessions along the Queens coastline, the Rockaway Beach Club turns the Beach 86th Street outpost into a lively open-air social hub. The setup features a casual food court layout with outdoor seating, where beachgoers can transition straight from the sand to tables serving up everything from fresh poke to standout tacos and gluten-free options. While the friendly staff keeps things moving, queues can stretch on peak summer afternoons. It is a classic post-swim decompression spot, occasionally soundtracked by live music, making it easy to stretch a day on the sand well into the evening.
