    There was a temporary beach created near the Twin Towers in New York City in the summer of 1977 . This artificial beach was set up in Battery Park City , an area on the west side of Lower Manhattan . The beach was part of a promotion by the City of New York and included sand, beach chairs, and umbrellas to create a seaside atmosphere in the urban environment.     This unique urban beach was part of the efforts to revitalize Lower Manhattan and attract people to the area, especially during the summer months. The project included events and activities to encourage New Yorkers and tourists to enjoy the waterfront. Vintage photos:         #newyork #vintagephotos
