NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project shares photos and a brief history of our beach. Check it out! "The isolated eastern end of the beach at Jacob Riis Park has been a location for LGBT sunbathing and cruising since the 1940s. Historically, it has been the most popular gay beach in New York City."

We have developed a searchable version of the 2017 Gateway Parks Superintendent's Compendium. This covers all the rules at Jacob Riis, Sandy Hook, Fort Tilden, and others. Our guide summarizes it, but if you want all the details, check this out. -Bashar
