Coney Island
Website Directions

Located at the southern tip of Brooklyn, Coney Island is a historic oceanfront destination known for its iconic boardwalk, sandy beaches, and retro amusement parks. Visitors flock to the area to ride classic roller coasters at Luna Park, grab a hot dog from Nathan's Famous, and explore marine exhibits at the New York Aquarium. Its energetic coastal atmosphere makes it a staple NYC outing during the warm summer season.

Quick tip: Take the D, F, N, or Q subway train directly to the Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue station for convenient access.

Expert notes

  • The best time to visit Coney Island is Memorial Day to Labor Day. There are lifeguards on duty at the beach, and all the rides and attractions are open daily from noon. Visitors can pair their trip to Coney Island with a visit to Brighton Beach, in proximity to Coney Island. The beach town's main street has Russian and Ukrainian shops and restaurants and a beautiful, well-maintained public beach.
