Local moves
Take the A train from Howard Beach or Far Rockaway to any Rockaway Beach station -- the fastest and cheapest way in.
The seasonal ferry from Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan runs to Rockaway Beach (summer only) -- a scenic option for city residents.
If you drive, Jacob Riis has the most parking. Walk east on the boardwalk to reach the surf zones.
The NYC Parks lots charge $35/day. The A train is $2.90 each way -- the math does not favor driving.
