Description

Famous in pop culture as the destination of the Ramones' invitation to "hitch a ride," the park serves as a resource for residents all along the Rockaway peninsula. The beachfront draws millions of summer visitors between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Following Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, the site has also served as a model for sustainable rebuilding.
