This beach is absolutely beautiful! Clean sand, everyone had their music playing at a decent level. Everyone was very respectful. Water was amazing. Such an amazing place to visit.

Manhattan beach use to be nice now it got ruined and not so clean. There are people blasting music ,smoking,drinking and littering all over the place and over crowded. I wish they would implement rules like they do in long island. No smoking drinking and littering. You can't play ball around where people laying and maybe start charging people who want to come to the beach.

I can't believe it took me 2 decades of living in New York to discover this beach. I used to go to Long Beach which is lovely, but you do need to use the LIRR. Manhattan Beach is accessible via the MTA and far less crowded than any of the other Brooklyn beaches. When you're stuck in the city and desperate for some beach-time, this is the place to go.

Getting to Manhattan Beach was so very convenient. Thankfully, we didn’t spend too much time looking for a parking spot, and found one pretty close to the entrance. I’m grateful for this, as we didn’t have to pay the parking lot fee. Since it’s more like a bay since the land is protected, the waters were calm, without many waves. The water was so inviting! Having been to many beaches throughout the northeast where crowds are not ethnically diverse, I appreciated the multicultural nature of the people here at Manhattan Beach. For me, this was as refreshing as what Mother Nature had to offer.

My go to beach in the city. Less crowded than Coney Island, Brighton Beach, or Far Rockaway. It’s smaller but cleaner and the water also is cleaner. There’s also a park so you can be in the shade if you decide you had enough sun. People also go there to barbecue.
