48. Rockaway Beach

QUEENS.   Waves most days hit three to four feet making this a popular hangout for those hanging ten. It is also home to numerous handball courts where plenty of city kids earn their chops at this quintessential fast-paced urban sport. The 170 acres of sand is perfect for sunbathers and fisherfolk while the conservation areas reveal the wilder, natural side of the urban jungle. With seven playgrounds for the scooter set, volleyball and skating for adults, you can while away the hours (or days) as leisurely as you please.
