Brighton Beach / Coney Island

“Coney Island offers an ideal summer respite from the hectic and steamy city. With nearly 3 miles of sandy beaches, Coney Island’s sunny skies and rolling waves make for the perfect getaway. If being active at the beach is more your idea of fun than just catching some rays, Coney Island also offers exciting recreation opportunities.With courts for beach volleyball, handball, and basketball as well as playgrounds and amusement rides, the beach and boardwalk can provide hours of entertainment.”

Take a look at one of the most vibrant Russian communities outside of Russia. Brighton Beach is a community on Coney Island in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City, USA. Located next to the famous Coney Island theme park, this place is like stepping into a time warp and still resembles what the Lower East Side used to look like.
