Route of this walk, reading from right to left.

START: Beach 67 Street subway station (A train), fully accessible

FINISH: Beach 116 Street - Rockaway Park subway station (S train), fully accessible

DISTANCE: 3.1 miles (5 kilometers)

On this walk we’ll start at a newly accessible subway station, Beach 67 Street, at Arverne-by-the-Sea in the Rockaways. From there we’ll walk along the boardwalk, stopping (probably) at The Rockaway Hotel for a restorative, then to the subway terminal at Beach 116 Street.

We’ll gather by the station booth at Beach 67 Street for a start promptly at 12 Noon. Note that only alternate A trains go to Far Rockaway; do not take a train going to Lefferts Boulevard. An alternate route to the starting point is the Q52 SBS bus from Queens. Transfer from the subway at Woodhaven Boulevard (R train) or Woodhaven Boulevard (J train). Take the bus to Beach 67 Street. We’ll take a close look at the accessibility improvements at this station before moving on.

Transfer from Woodhaven Boulevard subway station to Q52 SBS bus. The bus stop is on Hoffman Drive, across Queens Boulevard from the Queens Center shopping mall.

All are welcome but let me know you’re coming and be on time.

In the event of inclement weather this walk will be rescheduled with 24 hours notice.
