New York City Beaches Reopen for Summer Season with Safety Measures
New York City has officially reopened its beaches for the summer season, starting from Memorial Day weekend and continuing until September 13, 2026. The reopening includes all 14 miles of city-run beaches across the five boroughs, which are free and open to the public. Lifeguards will be on duty daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and swimming is prohibited when lifeguards are not present or in closed sections marked by signs or red flags. Beaches are classified based on sanitary conditions, with color-coded signs indicating whether swimming is permitted, advised against, or prohibited. This reopening marks a significant seasonal event for New Yorkers looking to enjoy outdoor activities during the warmer months.
