About Coney Island - Stillwell Ave
Coney Island - Stillwell Avenue is the terminal station for four subway lines and the gateway to one of New York City's most unique and legendary neighbourhoods. Coney Island beach (3.5 miles long) is free and accessible to all New Yorkers. Luna Park (amusement rides including the historic Cyclone roller coaster since 1927), the New York Aquarium, the boardwalk hot dog stands of Nathan's Famous and the wonderfully surreal Mermaid Parade make this a quintessential NYC summer experience.
