Bath Beach is calm, secure, charming, conservative as well as ethnically diverse area in Brooklyn. Bath Beach is surrounded by Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, and Gravesend.

Primarily a working class community of semi-attached houses and small apartment houses, Bath Beach is becoming a diverse ethnic community as recent Chinese, Hispanic, Arabic-speaking, and Russian-speaking immigrants displace the native-born Italian-Americans, continuing a cycle (the Italian-Americans' immigrant parents and grandparents displaced native-born German-Americans in the mid-twentieth century). The neighborhood contains a variety of small mom-and-pop businesses intermixed with chain stores, most of which are located at the Caesar's Bay Shopping Center at the terminus of Bay Parkway and on 86th Street along the elevated D line.
