Millions soaked up the sun, sand and surf at city beaches this summer.
Even without scorching weather, the Parks Department says more than 18 million people spent time at the beach and more than 1 million hung out at outdoor pools.
Beaches in every borough saw a spike in numbers during the 2014 season.
Compared to 2013 numbers, 90 percent more people visited the Bronx’s Orchard Beach, 13 percent more people visited Brooklyn beaches, 25 percent more people visited Queens’ Rockaway Beach and 140 percent more people visited Staten Island beaches.
