February 25, 2004--Use this guide to discover the beaches, boardwalks, historic sights and marine attractions, as well as the limitless opportunities for waterside fun, dining and adventure in New York City. Designed for travelers and locals, alike, Going Coastal New York City offers the best, most comprehensive information on what is happening along NYC’s 578 miles of coastline.

The guide, illustrated throughout with maps, is organized in three principal sections. The first section provides a circumferential tour of each of the five boroughs featuring details about the waterfront sights, parks and cultural attractions. From aquatic life to underwater archaeology, the second section focuses on appreciation of the city’s coastal assets by highlighting the marine activities and maritime attractions available on the shore. The final section provides a general account of the natural, public and working waterfront, and the local organizations and agencies working to protect and preserve the city’s coastal environment.

Each section is introduced by a New Yorker knowledgeable in the topic covered, to include: “Wildman” Steve Brill author of The Wild Vegetarian Cookbook; Ann Buttenweiser author of Manhattan Water-Bound; Jim Crowley author of Lighthouses of New York; Brian Cudahy author of How We Got to Coney Island; Marcia T.
