STATEN ISLAND EASTERN COASTLINE
STATEN ISLAND EASTERN COASTLINE
Route by Harbor Ring
This beach route starts from the St. George Ferry Terminal and works its way around the southeastern coastline of Staten Island. You'll find miles of beaches for sunbathing and swimming along the bike-friendly FDR Boardwalk. If you are looking for a smoother surface, hop down to the paved greenway that runs parallel to the boardwalk. If you are arriving by car or local to the area, this is a great family friendly route for all ages.
Coming from South Brooklyn? Free bike racks are available on MTA buses running over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. Bikes are allowed on both the S53 and S93 bus routes that connect Port Richmond, Staten Island to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Wanna explore a bit more? Continue south on the route to Great Kills Park or take a detour west from the starting point over to Snug Harbor.
