The city has just roughly a third of the lifeguards it needs, Parks Commissioner Sue Donoghue told the New York City Council earlier this week a shortfall posed to trim back hours, capacity and programming at local beaches and pools.
New York City’s beaches open this morning at 10 and close at 6 this evening and will do so daily until after Labor Day. Unlike other places that charge admission to public beaches or limit their use to residents, the 14 miles of surf, sand and sun spread across seven different shores in four boroughs (sorry Manhattan) are free to all.
