Between the Ocean
and the Bay
Far Rockaway covers the eastern end of the Rockaway peninsula, with the Atlantic Ocean as its southern edge and the Nassau County line to the east. Mott Avenue is the center of the neighborhood, where the A train ends its run, and the Far Rockaway station is the last stop of the LIRR branch. Central Avenue carries the library and the firehouse; Bayswater, on the bay side, has its own state park at Bayswater Point.
Housing here ranges from apartment blocks to houses and old beach bungalows — the Far Rockaway Beach Bungalow Historic District is listed on the National Register, and many bungalows were turned into year-round homes. About 4,000 detached houses stand in 11691, plus attached homes, and almost all of them live with salt air.
Salt, sand and wind are the three things that wear doors out here.
