Local moves

·

Take the subway. The D, F, N and Q trains all run to Coney Island-Stillwell Ave -- free with MetroCard, 40 minutes from midtown Manhattan.

·

If you must drive, arrive before 10 AM on summer weekends. All lots fill by noon and street parking becomes a hunt.

·

The $35/day lot fee is real money for a free beach. The subway math is $2.90 each way.

·

Brighton Beach has easier street parking -- walk west on the boardwalk from there.
