Parks Commissioner Robert Moses created the Bronx's only public beach -- running 1.1 miles and covering 115 acres -- on Long Island Sound. Built in the 1930s, Orchard Beach, nicknamed, "The Riviera of New York," consists of a sand beach, a promenade, a pavilion with food and shops, playgrounds, picnic areas, and multiple basketball, volleyball, and handball courts.
