Rockaway Beach, New York
These bits of New York and Long Island, down by JFK Airport and further out east into the Atlantic, look so fragile from the air. I guess if climate change is a reality, we may have to say bye to Rockaway.
Fifty years ago and more, Rockway Beach was where Irish immigrants and their Irish-American children settled in large numbers, or at least set up their summer homes. It's sometimes called the 'Irish Riviera' to this day. The Ramones' wrote a classic song, "Rockaway Beach," about here in 1977.
