  I'm a beach hater. I hate sand in my cracks and crevices. I hate baking like a turkey. 

  Growing up, and still, my grandmother had a bungalow in the Rockaways, in Breezy Point on Jamaica Bay. I had to spend a lot of time in the sand. And because I always had beach access we never really went to any of the other local beaches.

  I remember that my great aunt had a house in Long Beach and that we would go to the beach there occasionally and it was pretty nice, but that is like 25/30 years ago.

  For local, I really love Jones Beach. In an hour (on LIRR and then bus transfer at the station - so easy!) you can be on the sand. It's huge, there are different fields with some quieter than others, a boardwalk, and good beach food.

  Jones Beach...it's bigger than a lot of the others and I'm a sucker for the snack bar.

  I like Jones Beach, and I also like Gateway Park in Staten Island. Quiet, clean..no crazy dramatic guidos that you find on the shore..good times. LOLOL

  But with that, I also enjoy Lavalette (spelling?) on the Jersey shore.

  I love Point Pleasant Beach in NJ (I live in SI, so it's much closer than the beaches in bklyn, queens and LI). They have a really nice boardwalk and cute little rides for Sam. Plus the food is pretty good there too.

  Definitely no a NY native here. I like Coney Island. The boardwalk, atmosphere, not all skinny people. I like busy beaches. I grew up in a tranquil place. I don't work during the summer, so I'm looking for activities not to relax when I get out of the house.

  Long Beach!  Neptune Ave entrance, right at the start of the boardwalk :-) 

  You pay per person on Long Beach, which keeps the crowds smaller.  As opposed to Jones beach where you can pack 30 people in a minivan and pay the same price - if you go to the wrong gate at Jones, you'll feel like you just stepped into an MTV Spring Break show.  It can get crazy over there.  I like my beaches quiet, I want to hear the waves not your boombox!
