The mile-long manmade beach and facilities were built between 1934 and 1937 during the administration of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and under the supervision of his parks commissioner, Robert Moses, who went on to fame/infamy by building the Cross Bronx Expressway and other megacity projects that tore up whole neighborhoods.

The famed crescent-shaped promenade, which follows the curve of the beach, is paved with hexagonal blocks and edged by cast-iron railings bearing a nautical motif.
