Crescent Beach Park

Crescent Beach is comprised of several waterfront, wooded, and wetland sites on Tennyson Drive between Hales and Wiman Avenues. The waterfront location remains an important part of everyday life for both recreation and clamming. This park and the surrounding community are named for the sandbar that separates them from Great Kills Harbor. At low tide, a crescent-shaped sandbar emerges from the foot of Wiman Avenue toward Crooke’s Point in Gateway National Recreation Area, which includes Great Kills Park, Gateway Park, and Crooke’s Point.
