Brooklyn Residents Enjoy A Rare Public Access Beach On The East River

Old and young alike enjoy a rare public access beach along the East River on the Brooklyn side at Fulton Ferry State Park, near the Manhattan Bridge. (See it from the air here.) With only a couple weeks left of summer, you too might want to get one last dip in the water in.

Directly south of Fulton Ferry is the newly opened and lavishly landscaped Brooklyn Bridge Park
