A short walk along the boardwalk from Coney Island lies Brighton Beach, known locally as ‘Little Odessa’ due to the high level of immigration from Odessa in Ukraine.
Brighton Beach was developed as a beach resort by William A. Engeman in 1868, and named after the seaside resort of Brighton in England.
