Well, it looks like there will be no Summer at
Fort Tilden Queens NY. National Park Service officials announced in February that it was unlikely that the beach would be ready for Summer of 2013 and hinted that the beach will remain closed and possibly reopen in 2014. I was at
Fort Tilden just last week and there was no indication that the beach would be ready for the Summer of 2013. Lack of resources whether manpower or funding or maybe Fort Tilden is not a high priority item, I don't know, but beach goers at
Fort Tilden will just have to grin and bear it. If you are wondering how bad the beach was hit by
Hurricane Sandy? Take a look at these photos (with the exception of the 1st one) I took on January 26th, which shows some of the devastation that occurred.
