The 14 Best Places Vogue Editors Visited in 2025 | Vogue
"Quieter than other city beaches and tucked between Jacob Riis Park and Breezy Point, this semi-hidden stretch in Queens felt like magic. A former World War I military site, it doubles as a destination for history buffs and sun-seekers; the sand is clean, the walk in from the road keeps crowds down, and along the way trees shimmer like silver beside protected piping plover nests. I’d pack sandwiches, play chicken in the waves, and head home with that same summer secret: I went to the beach today." - Anna Grace Lee
