Brooklyn beach season starts Saturday. Here’s what you need to know.
Summer doesn’t technically begin until June 21, but Saturday marks the unofficial start of the season: the opening of New York City public beaches.
Temperatures are shaping up to be beautiful and balmy with not a drop of rain on the forecast. Saturday, Sunday and Monday will all be mostly sunny and 71, 84 and 79 degrees respectively. In other words: perfect beach weather.
From Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to Coney Island, Brooklyn has miles and miles of beautiful coastline, and the good news is that New York Harbor is cleaner than any time in the past century.
The beaches officially open at 10 a.m., so grab your towel and your favorite swimsuit and get out early to lay claim to prime sandy real estate.
