Rockaway Beach (off-season)
Once swim season ends on October 1, Rockaway becomes one of NYC's best dog walks: 11 km of Atlantic surf, wide flat sand, and a boardwalk that runs alongside it. Outside swim season (Oct 1–Apr 30), dogs are allowed on the beach and boardwalk leashed. The boardwalk concessions reopen in late spring with several dog-water bowls along the route.
Normas: Leash required at all times on the beach. Owners must pick up waste.
