Walkers, runners and cyclists share the multi-use path at Great Kills Park, where you can explore a sandy barrier peninsula along Staten Island’s South Shore. The landscape includes a beach, harbor and marina, with shoreline walking and coastal birdwatching available throughout the year.
Children can play on nautical structures at Seaside Wildlife Nature Park, while you can also make the shoreline boardwalk part of the visit. This waterfront neighborhood park sits at Nelson Avenue and Tennyson Drive, offering a separate outing from the peninsula’s paths.
Seafood eaters have plenty to consider at Cole’s Dockside, including char-grilled oysters with garlic butter and zuppa di mussels. You can follow a shoreline outing with a meal overlooking the harbor at this seafood and Italian restaurant on Cleveland Avenue, near Seaside Wildlife Nature Park.
A Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño Burger puts Island Social in different dinner territory from the harbor’s seafood restaurants. You’ll find this casual American bar and grill on Hylan Boulevard, inland from Seaside Wildlife Nature Park. Choose it as an alternative meal stop: the burger selection also includes the Social Smashburger and Jack Daniels Burger, alongside sliders and chicken wraps.
