Water Taxi Beach Governors Island

Welcome to Water Taxi Beach Governors Island, the city's premier waterfront spot for great music all summer long, sun, fun, food and spectacular views of lower Manhattan.

Enjoy the new Backstage Cafe, a cool, airy oasis with indoor and outdoor dining. The mouth-watering menu features locally procured produce, meat and products. Right around the corner, the Beach Grill serves up our award-winning Motz Burgers, hotdogs, and sausages prepared fresh and served with a lot of style. For you veggie lovers, you'll flip for the 100% veggie burger (no soy fillers) made fresh daily.

Throw down your towel and soak up some sun on over 20,000 square feet of sand (300 tons), or join a pick up game of Beach volleyball or basketball. Wherever you sit, you'll have a front row view of the magnificent lower Manhattan skyline.

Experience great music and entertainment at The Beach, New York’s premier live outdoor venue situated a few steps from the sand.

Just a short ferry ride from downtown Manhattan, Water Taxi Beach Governors island is available for private parties, weddings and corporate events. Contact our special events team for additional information.

See you at the Beach.
No dogs. No swimming. No coolers. No kidding.
