Orchard Beach, Public beach in The Bronx, US.
The 1.1-mile-long sandy beach features a promenade with a central pavilion stretching along the western shore of Long Island Sound.
Parks commissioner Robert Moses transformed this area in the 1930s by connecting several islands with landfill to create the expanded beach.
The beach hosts summer events where local residents gather to enjoy music, food vendors, and recreational activities along the shore.
Visitors can reach the beach by taking the Bx12 or Bx29 bus from Pelham Bay Park subway station, with parking available for cars.
The hexagonal-block promenade contains 26 courts for sports activities and can accommodate up to 100,000 people at the same time.
