Lonely Planet review for Jacob Riis Park

Much of the Rockaway Beach area is part of the 26,000-acre Gateway National Recreation Area (www.nps.gov/gate), which encompasses several parks. One, toward the southern tip of the Rockaways, is Jacob Riis Park, named for an advocate and photographer of immigrants in the late 19th century; it’s also home to Fort Tilden, a decommissioned coastal artillery installation from WWI. The boardwalk, beach and picnic areas are popular in summer.
