Manhattan Beach

A residential peninsula beside the ocean.

Manhattan Beach occupies a peninsula on Brooklyn’s southern shore, with residential streets between Sheepshead Bay and the Atlantic side. Detached homes and varied architectural styles contribute to the neighborhood’s distinctive low-rise setting.

Manhattan Beach Park brings beach access, recreation areas, and ocean views to the eastern portion of the neighborhood. The surrounding water and the shape of the peninsula are central to understanding how its streets and homes relate to one another.
