This is the 2009 annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade. The weather was chilly and rainy, but the turnout was good and fun was had by all. This annual parade is one of the most enjoyable in New York City. The parade route includes the Coney Island boardwalk. The Atlantic Ocean is a wonderful locale to view the creative costuming with a mermaid and start of summer theme. See the full gallery of photos here.
