Water Taxi Beach

The success of the beach led New York Water Taxi to propose a similar project at the Atlantic Basin in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

[7][8] The restaurant Harry's at Water Taxi Beach served barbecue-type foods such as hamburgers, hot dogs, beer, wine, and tropical drinks.

[10] In March 2008, additional sand was added to the property, expanding its size to about 44,000 square feet (4,100 m2)[11] and making room for three new beach volleyball courts.

Water Taxi Beach was built and located on property owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The land was located next to the Queens West development and slated to be redeveloped with residential housing and a waterfront park.
