Stillwell Avenue is a major two-way north–south thoroughfare in southern Brooklyn and the central section of Coney Island.

It is 2.4 miles (3.9 km) long and begins at a dead end at Riegelmann Boardwalk on Coney Island.

The New York Sun newspaper released a story in 2006 about plans to reinvigorate Coney Island.

[5] Stillwell Avenue begins at the Atlantic Ocean on Coney Island, just north of the Riegelmann Boardwalk, occupying the position of West 14th Street.

[1] The road parallels Henderson Walk for a short distance to the intersection with Surf Avenue at 0.2 mile.

Soon afterwards, Stillwell Avenue crosses Coney Island Creek, which reaches into Lower New York Bay.

Stillwell Avenue then passes Scarangella Park and intersects 86th Street at 1.6 miles (2.6 km).
