Islands - Coney Island - [Riegelmann boardwalk - Coney Island beach.]

A section of Coney Island's boardwalk, beach, and the Atlantic. This picture gives a good idea of the appearance of Coney Island on a hot week-end or holiday. The fact that it is the only large beach in the metropolitan area which can be reached by subway for a five-cent fare is responsible for its popularity. About 1931. Ewing Galloway.
