What the hell are you talking about.....there is no "dedicated" beach. 67th Street is just one of the few places you're allowed to surf on Rockaway Beach, so that's where the majority of surfers go.
So I used a bad choce of words, but since you're allowed to surf there (one of the very few places) its still dedicated to hipsters. I saw them get off the train all the type at Beach 67 Street.
So much for the myth that hipsters only want to live within close proximity to Manhattan. If hipsters are willing to venture out to the Rockaways, then its safe to say the Bronx wouldn't be much of a stretch. Would you say?
Its happening to parts of the South Bronx. The areas around Yankee Stadium and the Hub. For other parts of the Bronx, the hipster presence is too minute to measure.
Many hipsters live further off than what people give them credit for. Some of them still live in parents' homes in the suburbs but travel to NYC for the hipster scene.

They are reaching out to many other areas as the really trendy ones become oversaturated and even pricier. Seen a few in deep Gravesend recently.
Long before the Rockabus carrying hipsters sporting tattoo sleeves and Brooklyn zip codes invaded the Rockaways, mid-century suburbanites drove in their Cadillac Eldorados and Ford Fairlaines to the myriad of beach clubs that dotted Long Island. These swanky beach clubs with names like El Patio filled with rows of attached cabanas were over run with sun worshiping, jewelry glittering deeply tanned women in figure flattering swimsuits playing canasta and stogie smoking men dressed in eye catching terry lined cabana sets in exotic patterns evoking the South Pacific.

I disagree - that area has attracted many surfers for decades - some of whom would be considered well-off.
The difference, the push b vendors to offer restaurants and places that attract a Hamptonish crowd. As for "hipsters" -- well the Rockaways usually have always attracted "hipsters" since the Ramones back in the 80's. It was just jmore of a mix of Latino/Black/Anglos/artists/working and middle class folk/ and a gay ethnic mix over at Riis beach since I have lived in NYC in the mid 90's.
To be honest, residents of the Rockaways welcome some of this as the area has not had really good amenities in many areas until the past 10 years or so. Neponsit disallows commercial development, Far Rockaway has a commercial center but rather basic. The Arverne development jump started some nice development for more a greater mixture of incomes with the condos from the early 70's (which are quite nice) around Beach 70's.
