EarthCam Live: Coney Island (New York City)

Coney Island is Brooklyn at its most playful, and this live EarthCam view overlooks Luna Park, the amusement park right on the shore. Roller coasters, thrill rides, bright signs and the Atlantic beyond make for one of the most colorful scenes in New York City.

During the summer season the camera captures the park in full swing. Rides spin and swoop, crowds wander between attractions and food stands, and the boardwalk buzzes with beachgoers. The view shows how close everything is to the water: the rides stand right along the shore, with the sand and sea just a few steps away.

Off-season, the scene takes on a quieter, almost nostalgic character, with the rides at rest and the boardwalk left to joggers and dog walkers. Sunsets over the ocean and the glow of the park lights after dark look great at any time of year.

Highlights

• Luna Park's rides and attractions.
• The beach and boardwalk alongside them.
• Peak-season energy in Brooklyn's most colorful corner.
