We Really Go To the Beach

Arverne on the Sea, NY, USA

This time we didn’t take any chances on meeting in the city where we might be distracted. Instead, we met towards the far end of the L line, halfway to the beach.We meant to go to Rockaway Park Beach, but missed our stop and ended up in Arverne On the Sea instead.

Ultimately, that was probably fortunate. The beach was almost empty when we arrived, more birds and mussels than swimmers. A woman we met while jumping waves said the beach down at Rockaway Park is much more crowded, shoulder to shoulder. This beach, with ocean waves and laughing toddlers, was just perfect!
