I spent 3-4 hours on this lovely and quiet beach during a layover from JFK airport. It’s much closer than going into the city and I needed a place to take a nap. I took the AirTrain to Howard beach station and walked here for 15 minutes. I was lucky not to have heavy bags and the weather was gorgeous. The neighborhood felt summer-towny and safe. There is also a kids park. To access the beach you have to follow the small trail on the left.
