Silver Gull Beach Club

The Rockaways has the beach and 2 beach clubs. If you like a private beach club on the Atlantic Ocean then you'll like the Silver Gull. Tennis, paddleball, pools, cards, bocci, gym and live bands sitting at the tiki bar or in the hot tub to be entertained by. There's always something to do, unless you prefer a quiet space by yourself on the beach. You choose.
Unfortunately the place needs a better restaurant because the one currently there is not tasty with a limited out dated menu.

Stepping back in time... a good thing.

Silver Gull is one of a disappearing breed of beach clubs. Going decades back, before A/C was common this is how families from Brooklyn and Queens kept cool. It is not the most up-to-date facility, but that is part of its charm. The pools are huge and clean, and there is plenty of place to setup your lounge chair... or better yet rent a cabana and have a home away form home.

I agree with other reviewers that they could do so much more with the food service. Bring in some food trucks or other vendors. They do not even sell sunscreen or beach sundries.... a wasted opportunity.

If you are looking for beach vacation you can have every weekend, join the Silver Gull

Lots of beach, three pools (one for kiddies), two water slides. A beach club experience like stepping back in time 50 years.

This place is a hidden Gem for the ones that can afford to rent it out. It's $10,000 for the summer to hang out here and have your own Cabana. That includes basically a small kitchenette and some beach chairs. There's a bar that you can purchase premium beverages and a view that is supposed to compensate for the cost.
