Between the late 1800s and the First World War, Coney Island became one of the most popular amusement parks in the North East. People came from all over to visit the various rides, restaurants and other attractions. However, after the war, the park failed to attract the big crowds. Recently I visited Coney Island and fell in love with the bright lights, warm sandy beach and unique crowd of visitors. Coney Island is an amazing place and should definitely be on your Bucket List of places to go!

1. The Beach

The beach at Coney Island is huge! There are so many things to do: playing volleyball, swimming in the water and just lying out, getting a nice tan.

2. The Art Walls

There's a section dedicated to these amazing art walls that are a must-see! Some are like graffiti, and others are just full of bright colors like this one:

3. The Amusement Park

The amusement park at Coney Island offers a bunch of rides for visitors of all ages and it makes for one fun day and a great night!

4. The Circus Side Show

There's a Coney Island Freak Show too! The audience is not able to take photos while the show is playing, but trust me, it's amazing!

5. The Boardwalk

There are so many shops with cute souvenirs and clothes as well as dozens of restaurants with amazing food!

To everyone, I recommend a trip to the all-American Coney Island. It's a great place to visit on a beautiful summer day!
