Manhattan is creating a beach where it will be forbidden to swim: why is it necessary

Manhattan is not the place that comes to mind when you think of a beach holiday. However, soon this borough of New York will receive its own beach paradise, but swimming there will be prohibited. The publication told about what can be done on the beach. Travel and Leisure.

The Hudson River Park Trust is set to begin beach development this spring as part of its larger project on the Gunseworth Peninsula in the Meatpacking area. The 5,5 acre (2,2 ha) project will include a salt marsh, sports fields, a dog track and a sandy beach with kayaks.

Swimming on this beach will be prohibited. This is good considering the questionable water quality in the Hudson River. The beach is being equipped to serve as a protective barrier against floods and storm surges. Ultimately, this place could turn into another great location for photography lovers.
