Go Fly A Kite At Plumb Beach.  On most Spring and summer days you can see numerous kites, many of which are beautiful and unusual, hovering in the skies above Plumb beach.  All you need is a kite and some string.  It's fun and Free, except of course for the cost of purchasing or making a kite.  There are also kite boarders in the area and some people swim or wade in the water at Plumb beach.  However, going into the water is at your own risk.  There is no lifeguard at Plumb beach and I'm not sure how clean the water is.  For kite flying though, it's great!  There are no set hours, but daytime from about 11:00PM until about 6:00 or 7:00PM (summer), or when people start leaving  ( I would not be around there when it's deserted)  The area can be reached by car from the belt parkway.  It is between the knapp street exit and the Flatbush Avenue exit going east (towards Long Island).  There will be a parking area between these exits, on the right.  Just pull into the parking area and bring your kite.
