NEW YORK CITY — Get ready for some fun in the sun.
All New York City beaches — with two exceptions — will be open from Memorial Day weekend until Sept. 13 after the mayor's budget last year allocated money to keep lifeguards working until after Labor Day. Cedar Grove and Wolfe's Pond on Staten Island will continue to close the day after Labor Day.
The public beaches will be staffed with lifeguards from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, according to the Parks Department website. Swimming is prohibited when lifeguards are not on duty.
