Water Taxi Beach was an artificial temporary beach located on a wharf on the East River in Long Island City, Queens, operating from 2005 to 2010. Managed by the New York Water Taxi Company, it offered free public access during the summer months and hosted private events.
The beach featured a restaurant called Harry's at Water Taxi Beach, serving a variety of barbecue foods and beverages. It was part of a public-private partnership with the Port Authority of NY and NJ, aiming to attract visitors to the area and support ferry services to nearby residential developments.
