We had some expectations of how it would might be, but to be honest it was just a beach with a boulevard with a carnival and some small shops.
Scheveningen (in Holland/The Netherlands) is way better!!
,Coney Island Boulevard
DID YOU KNOW:
The Dutch name for the island was Conyne Eylandt ("Konijn Eiland" in modern Dutch spelling), meaning Rabbit Island. This name is found on the New Netherland map of 1639 by Johannes Vingboon. (New York State and New York City were originally a Dutch colony and settlement, named Nieuw Nederlandt and Nieuw Amsterdam.) As on other Long Island barrier islands, Coney Island had many and diverse rabbits and rabbit hunting prospered until resort development eliminated their habitat...
