Plumb Beach, Sand beach in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, United States
The long stretch of sandy shoreline extends along Jamaica Bay, offering direct views of Rockaway Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean waters.
Originally an independent island, Plumb Beach connected to mainland Brooklyn after workers filled Hog Creek during the construction of Belt Parkway in 1930s.
The beach functions as a protected marine habitat within Gateway National Recreation Area, supporting horseshoe crab populations during spring mating season.
The beach maintains regular hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, with parking spaces available directly off Belt Parkway.
Local kiteboarding practitioners gather at this location throughout summer months due to consistent southerly winds across Jamaica Bay.
