Located between Sheepshead Bay and Marine Park, Gerritsen Beach is a charming neighborhood tucked away on a peninsula in south Brooklyn. Often compared to a New England fishing village, Gerritsen Beach is brimming with old-fashioned homes clustered along narrow streets.
Gerritsen Beach is known for its close-knit community, which comes together for a wide variety of events, such as street fairs, blocks parties, and more. Recreational opportunities abound in Gerritsen Beach as well, with plenty of options for fishing, boating, and swimming. The many exciting attractions of Coney Island are also within minutes of Gerritsen Beach, including Luna Park, the New York Aquarium, and the Coney Island Beach and Boardwalk.
