Far Rockaway, Queens sits on the Rockaway Peninsula with wide sandy beaches, a lively boardwalk, surf culture, growing cafés and seafood spots — a relaxed, affordable beachside neighborhood that’s easy to recharge in between shifts and actually enjoyable for multiweek stays.
Strong transit (A train, NYC Ferry and nearby JFK) puts Brooklyn and Manhattan a short ride away for museums, restaurants and nightlife, so you get a low-key coastal base plus big‑city options on weekends.
