Orchard Beach is a public beach in the borough of the Bronx
in New York City. The beach is part of Pelham Bay Park and is situated on the
western end of Long Island Sound. Once referred to as "the Riviera of New
York City" the 115-acre (0.47 km2), 1.1-mile (1.8 km)-long (1.77 km) park
consists of a 13-section sandy beach, a hexagonal-block promenade, a central
pavilion with food stores and specialty shops, two playgrounds, two picnic
areas, a large parking lot, and 26 courts for basketball, volleyball, and
handball. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and
Recreation.
It is most recognized
for its unique crescent shape, and beautiful view of City Island, Bronx.
