Sip, surf, and sunbathe: A guide to the Rockaways

The Rockaways is the quintessential beach getaway for those looking to soak up some sun and still remain in the city.

We’ve rounded up the best of the Rockaways, including how to get there, where to soak up the sun, and, of course, the best spots to wine and dine.
