South Beach

Years ago South Beach, Staten Island was quite a bit different than it is today. Going back to the 1980’s, the boardwalk was literally nothing more than a skeleton of its former self. Today, the boardwalk and everything surrounding it has changed for the better.

The construction of the Vanderbilt Catering facility and the South Fin Grill were part of a public and private partnership between the New York City Parks Department and restaurant developers to create a new more attractive South Beach.

The revitalization of this neighborhood also produced a new fishing pier, which made its début in 2005. The area also features regularly scheduled community events, which send visitors back to the area by the thousands. South Beach is now a kid friendly community with city parks, athletic fields, and picnic areas that stretch over 2.5 miles along Farther Capodanno Boulevard. This is a great vacation spot!
