| Eye On The Rock Rockaway Beach, Queens |
Bigger than Coney Island, Rockaway Beach is actually similar in size to Long Island's Jones Beach, stretching for more than six miles. The subway can deposit you along most of the length of the beach, but the area's nicer around Rockaway Park (to the west) than Far Rockaway (to the east). Just don't expect Playland, the famed amusement park was razed for an apartment development in the 1980s. |

To save our bays you have to start to look into its history first. |

"A lot of the people we lost not just the police and firemen, but even workers at the World Trade Center were from Rockaway and near by Staten Island.”
