The Rockaways have been an underserved community in NYC, after superstorm Sandy, many parts have been abandoned and there is still continuing construction to bring some businesses and homes back. Many doctors offices were washed away with the storm and many continue to lack medical coverage.
In recent years, surfers have flocked to the beach for the wave. I've personally been to the Rockaways beach area only a handful of times. The area was quiet to start with, after the storm, it seems to be an abandoned child of NYC.
