South Beach and Midland Beach

Just a ferry ride away from Lower Manhattan, two of Staten Island’s sandiest neighborhoods, South Beach and Midland Beach, offer fun in the sun via a 2.5-mile boardwalk. In addition to plenty of room for sunbathing on the shoreline, the neighborhoods possess the Ocean Breeze fishing pier, one of the largest in the City, as well as a small beachside amusement park.
