Tottenville Beach is a name sometimes used to denote the southeastern part of Tottenville, the southernmost neighborhood of Staten Island, in the city of New York City.
It is defined as the part of Tottenville south and east of Hylan Boulevard. It is also the newest part of Tottenville, as it was largely undeveloped up until the 1990s, and today is the home of many Russian immigrants. It is exclusively residential, and is bordered on the south and west by Conference House Park. Page Avenue is usually considered its northeastern boundary as well as that of all of Tottenville.
Surf Avenue, between Loretto Street and Sprague Avenue, is the only street that runs directly adjacent and parallel to the beach. While the beach that the area is named for is not popular with swimmers or sunbathers, it is a popular place for fishing. The only commercial establishment in the entire area is the Coral Bay Cafe at 722 Rockaway Street, although several hotels dotted the shoreline during the first half of the 20th Century.
