Coney Island U. S. A. is a really fun place to spend the day. My visits are many over the years. I always enjoy hanging around taking photos of the pier and beach. Coney Island is more than just the beach and the amusement park. There's sports venues, music concerts, dining and more. I like the beach and pier area of Coney Island early in the morning. Then I wander around the other locations. I enjoy the community gardens planted by the residents.
The amusement park is historic. I must admit I would not want to live in this neighborhood. You need to be a true blue beach person. The people traffic in the summer must get hectic. The place is kept clean, people are friendly and I love the architecture. I don't go when it is too warm. I don't find many trees to sit under. There were plenty of benches to relax. I always get a Nathan's Hot Dog!
If you haven't been, you should go at least one time. Bring lots of cash and credit cards! Bring the whole family. Maybe bring a gang to drink beer. But always get a Nathan's Hot Dog, or two!
