Buono Beach, Public beach in Rosebank, Staten Island, United States.
The small shorefront park stretches along New York Harbor, providing direct access to the water and offering views of passing ships and maritime activities.
Named after Matthew 'Giggy' Buono, a New Dorp High School graduate and South Beach resident who lost his life during the Vietnam War in 1988.
The beach area incorporates a veterans' memorial fountain that recognizes the service of military members, connecting the community to its military heritage.
Following extensive repairs after Superstorm Sandy in 2012, the beach reopened in 2016 with restored facilities and improved access along Edgewater Street.
Previously known as Penny Beach, locals would throw coins into the harbor while making wishes, a practice that might have influenced its original name.
