at The Water Taxi Beach (1 Carder Road, New York City)

Water Taxi Beach, Governors Island – The beach at Governors Island, Water Taxi’s newest, sandy digs, boasts over 20,000 square feet of shoreline dust. This venue doubles as an outdoor concert hotspot, quite literally, in fact, and is sponsored by the Highline Ballroom, NY Water Taxi and Liberty Even Management. A spectacular line-up will hit Governors Island each summer, and the crowd isn’t bad looking, either. From this out-of-the-city locale, the views of downtown Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge enchant. Not your cup of vodka-spiked, iced tea? Pack your towel and let the rays do the enchanting. Beach volleyball and basketball courts are available, as well as tasty treats and liquid libations.-ClubPlanet.com
