The Ocean Pier at Coney Island
Coney Island is a recent sand bar formation pertaining to the town of Gravesend, at the southwestern corner of Long Island (see Plate XLII), and forming the eastern boundary of the outer bay of New York. Until within the last three or four years the exceptional advantages afforded by this island for surf bathing and direct access to the cooling atmosphere of the Atlantic were allowed to remain undeveloped and almost unknown, with the exception of a small strip at the west end occupied by Norton & Murray's Hotel, which was reached by boat from a landing in Gravesend Bay.
