Sightseeing
From Corey Kilgannon @ The NYT
To reach the beach at Fort Tilden, keep the missile silos on your right, the munitions buildings on your left, and head due south of the cannon batteries.
Remember this, because there are no signs to point the way, no scents of sunscreen, lifeguard’s whistles nor flying Frisbees; just these military landmarks, the briny breeze and the roar of the surf.
Once over the dunes, it may well be just you and a few stoic surfcasters there with the gulls and terns swooping and flopping on the breeze. The only clue you are still in New York City may be the hazy Manhattan skyline floating 10 miles in the distance.
