Where is Coney Island?
Coney Island: Coney Island is a peninsula and former island of southernmost Brooklyn, New York City, USA, with a famous beach lying on the Atlantic Ocean. The neighborhood called Coney Island is a community of 60,000 people in the western part of the peninsula, with Sea Gate to its west, and Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east. To the north is Gravesend. The area was formerly a major resort and home of amusement parks, reaching its peak in popularity in the early 20th century but declining after World War II. In recent years, the area has been revitalized by Russian immigrants and the opening of KeySpan Park, home to the successful Brooklyn Cyclones minor league baseball team.
