Swimming in October in New York City's Atlantic Ocean shore

The Atlantic Ocean temperature was in the upper sixties and still warm enough for swimming.  The lifeguards were gone and only three or four sun worshippers on 5 miles of beach. 

The beach can be full of tens of thousands sunbathers during hot New York days in July and August.  Now, the lifeguards were gone and only three or four sun worshippers on 5 miles of beach.

The beaches in New York city on Long Island's southern shore extend from The Verrazano Bridge out to the eastern tip of Long Island.  Over one hundred miles of seashore
