GETTING THERE:
By Ferry: Take the Seastreak ferry from multiple locations in Manhattan, most notably, Wall St. Pier 11. Round trip is about $45 but I believe the weekend fare is only $30 for the 8am early bird ferry (I will be taking this ferry).

By Car: Accessed most easily through Brooklyn and over the Verazzano Bridge, which takes about an hour or mores depending on where you're coming from. Google map it to be sure.
WHAT TO BRING:
The beach is a National Recreation Area and has bathroom facilities, a small pavilion with picnic tables and there's usually a food (taco) truck. But that's really it. Any other food and drink would need to get got before getting on the ferry, so well-stocked coolers are the way to go.
There's no store that I know of, unless you drive a few miles inland so don't forget the essentials like sunscreen and drinking water.
I will be bringing my large tent to keep a cooler in and to provide refuge from the sun if you need it. Try to only bring what you can easily carry.
