Brighton Beach is a remote community in south Brooklyn frequently visited by tourists due to its proximity to Coney Island. Lovingly termed Little Odessa, Brighton Beach has a distinctly old country feel commensurate with its namesake. Nestled between Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean, Brighton Beach is home to a fantastic boardwalk where you can find great borscht, if only you can find parking.
Brighton Beach has so much character and is unique! It is full of life and energy!
I have never actually used the beach here. I like to go in spring if we are having a heat wave and in the fall. I walk the board walk and eat. The Russian food on the board walk is so unlike any other board walk food in the country!
All of the salads and fish are fresh. It is a bit pricey but worth it! It feels safer and cleaner than Coney Island which if you walk from Key Span parking lot you can get to Brighton beach from the board walk in Coney Island.
It is a fun place to visit. Don’t expect Wailea Beach on Maui. I would suggest going to Brighton Beach to sample the culture and flavors.
Brighton Beach was made famous by Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs. It was more recently in a movie with Gwyneth Paltrow “The Two Lovers.”
There has been talk of a new reality show like the Jersey shore about Brighton Beach.

It is a fascinating subculture here in New York.
Going to Brighton Beach is like going back in time. If you want to discover New York city off the beaten path, look no further than Brighton beach.
It is the most unique and lively beach community in all of New York! I have to add the neighborhood is dirty and there is little to no parking.
