Eye candy: South Street Seaport Water Taxi Beach
The South Street Seaport Water Taxi Beach is indeed open for business at Pier 17 this summer.
More than 5,100 golf balls have been hit at the 9-hole mini golf course since the course opened on May 23, “and so far and NONE have ended up in the drink,” a spokeswoman for Harbor Experience Companies, which operates the beach.
Access to the beach itself is free during the days, though cover charges sometimes kick in at night if there’s live entertainment. In addition to the mini-golf, there is food and drink (including Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Ale on tap,) skeeball and ping-pong tables. (And if you enter by the old fish market, you’ll miss most of the touristy mess near the main entrance to the mall.)
The original Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City is also open for the season and the new Governors Island location is on track to open for the July 4th weekend.
