Fort Tilden Beach, Breezy Point

A trip to the beach, with some history and art to boot

For a great beach experience, couples may wish to consider going a little ways down the shoreline from New York City to a place called FortTildenBeach.  Once a key point in defending the harbor from attack, it has since transformed into a center for arts.  Some of the old military buildings have been turned into art galleries and another into a theater that puts on live productions.  There’s also an old historic gun site that offers some pretty amazing views.  Couples can enjoy some fishing or just take a walk on the beach or one of the trails.  There are even tours during certain times of the year.  Have you ever had the chance to tour an abandoned military fort before?
