Howard Beach is an unusual Queens waterfront community - a peninsula jutting into Jamaica Bay, accessible by bridge. The neighborhood's Italian-American character persists alongside increasing demographic change. Ozone Park along Atlantic Avenue is a denser urban neighborhood with a large Indo-Caribbean and South Asian community. JFK Airport borders both to the south.
