Best Surf Beaches in Queens

Beach 90th Street in Rockaway is a bustling beach‑break with jetties creating punchy lefts and rights. The zone draws everyone from novice longboarders to seasoned shortboarders and gets its best shape on south‑ and east‑swell hurricane pulses with an offshore west or northwest breeze.

Just down the boardwalk from 90th Street, Beach 98th has similar punchy peaks. Jetties create multiple take‑off spots and the wave suits lower‑intermediate to advanced surfers on south and east swells with light offshore winds.
