Brighton Beach

Brightwater Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11235

Description

This beach is less popular for sunbathers than nearby Coney Island, although it is just a short eastward stroll away along the boardwalk. The neighborhood of the same name is highly populated by Russian Jewish immigrants. On this beach—and on Coney Island as well—you do not need to be tanned and fit to feel at ease in a bathing suit. Of course you can find hot dogs here, but there is also Russian, kosher and Arabic food available. Admission is free.
