Encompassing more than 170 acres of sand, this family-friendly beach attracts New Yorkers from all five boroughs. Seven playgrounds keep kids happy while wave riders enjoy the city's only surfing areas. Fishing, skating, volleyball, sunning and, of course, swimming are also favorite activities. Rockaway Beach is also an excellent place to test your surfing prowess. If you're a novice, summer is the ideal time to start riding low waves, while more experienced boarders should savor hurricane season (September and October).

Девочки! Прошу совета, что взять цветущей женщине сорока лет из косметики и парфюмерии Новая Заря. Магазин я нашла, aromatel ру называется, сумма в пределах 3000. Вам вот что нравится? Спасибо! aromatel.ru
