# Fort Tilden Beach > Public beach offers a tranquil atmosphere with natural, unguarded sandy shores and wildflower-lined walks. It attracts arts-oriented, chill visitors and feels more queer-friendly and less crowded than typical city beaches. Water conditions are often choppy with undertows, and swimming is discouraged due to no lifeguards.
