When I went recently we parked at Fort Tilden and then took a Lyft over to the
Fisherman's Lot at Breezy. You can also take the Q35 bus until just over the
Marine Pkwy Bridge and take an Uber or Lyft from there.
I agree with Stanley though that a national park is supposed to be accessible
to all - or at least to a wider pool of stakeholders. The NPS in recent years
has been very public campaigning to attract greater diversity in visitors.
Having an area that is accessible to nobody but a gated community and a few
permit holders is not in keeping with their stated values regarding a public
resource (which all of our tax dollars pay for). Reaching out to the
Congressional reps and the Parks Service itself to point this out couldn't hurt
and may attract attention.
(And I realize in saying this, that it will still only be most easily
accessible to drivers, which is a bigger issue...)

This is part of Gateway National Recreation Area, it should be accessible to
all. It's not like there's a bus that goes there either. I bike there sometimes
but I realize that's not an option for everyone. I know some birding groups are
working on this but it never hurts to write to Gateway management and the local
Congressperson, Gergory Meeks. It's absurd that people who take (fish) are
given a higher priority than people who watch (birds).

Gordon just got back to me. Yes, they changed the rules this year, and you
need the permit. Audubon, Linnaean and other groups are fighting this unjust
regulation. Gordon doubts the new rule can be changed this season. It also
applies to the fisherman`s lot at the hotel area, part of Fort Tilden. If there
is any action to be taken, we will know about it from the organizations
representing us. I know. It is not right. It is also about money. The fishermen
they say are complaining they have no parking space. From my experience that is
not true. There are always lots of empty spots. I was planning to go, but we
cannot.
Maybe one member of the group can drop the others off and then if another
driver in the car. The original driver comes back, and the second driver gives
the first driver a little time on the beach. The rest can go back to the main
area, and then later pick up the original driver., complicated, but possible,
Bird different areas and take turns.
