Beautiful park, though the NPS employees there are Mall Cop-tier chuds, specifically "Ben". He blocked our car with his tractor to prevent us from leaving before the police arrived because we apparently parked illegally.

Lovely to walk through and see the beauty of the ocean. The “road” was badly damaged by Hurricane sandy, but it still has that raw, rugged beauty. Worth a visit for a walk and a sit by the ocean. Don’t swim, as there are no lifeguards in this area.

What I appreciated so much about the people there, was that they were all so respectful. It was great to see so many women (of all ages, shapes and sizes), feeling comfortable enough with themselves that they were topless. As an older woman, that was inspirational to observe. It was quite wavy, keeping me from fully submerging in the water. Areas were fenced off to protect certain species of birds that were nesting. Aside from the time at the beach itself, we did a little poking around. There is much history to these grounds.

The old Fort Tilden is now a recreational area near Riis Beach. It is a great place to bike ride but there is no parking available.

What a great way to re-use old military land. This is a perfect lovely beach to go for a walk on a sunny autumn day.
