Lifelong Brooklynite here. The locals know this place as Dead Horse Bay. Many are deterred from visiting due to the morbid name, but it is a treasure trove for antique enthusiasts. As the sea eats away the edges of the landfill (which was covered up in the middle of the 20th century), more of its contents are exposed daily. Aside the excess of glass, you can also find broken ceramics and century-old leather.
