Beach weekends are a staple for any New Yorker's summer schedule, but weary urbanites must factor in the extra hours in traffic or on the train to get to their seaside escape.

For upper-crust Manhattanites — OK, and Park Slope dwellers, too — transportation stresses don't exist. They can hop in a seaplane and arrive at one of various quintessential beach locations.
