Rockaway Beach Walk & Swim

Walk along the Rockaway boardwalk from Beach 116th St. to Beach 57th Street, Arverne, on Saturday, August 15th.
Slow pace on flat terrain, about 3.5 miles. Drop-off points with subway access along the walk route.
We will have a leisurely lunch and spend time at the beach enjoying the sun, sand, and ocean. After the beach, we will walk back to the subway at Beach 67th St., where the walk will end.
If you come by ferry, either wait at the boardwalk on Beach 108th Street or walk to the subway station at Beach 116th Street. Please note: I will not wait for the ferry.
BRING: lunch, water, bathing suit, hat, and sunscreen.

MEET: 11:00 AM outside the subway station at Beach 116 Street. Take the JFK A-Train to Broad Channel, change for the S-train at Broad Channel or Rockaway Boulevard, and exit the S-train at Beach 116 Street. Please allow ample time to reach Rockaway Beach due to MTA weekend subway service changes. Bathrooms are available in the subway station and nearby on/off boardwalk.

Rain cancels, and the walk leader will announce cancellation on Meetup by 8 pm the day before the walk.

**Joint walk with Outdoors Club, please RSVP with only one club. We'll remove your RSVP if you are already signed up with the Outdoors Club in order to open the spot for another member to attend. **

Leader: Ed Leibowitz, 908-623-3883, eleibow@verizon.net. Cell phone 201-850-9649 only on the day of the walk after 10:00 AM.
