Sandy Waterfront in Brooklyn?

OK, I know this is not a strict Brownstoner question/topic. But I can’t find an answer anywhere else and I know people on here will know.

I live in Carroll Gardens. For medical reasons, I need to start walking on sand daily. I’m trying to find a sandy area on the water that is closer than Coney Island. I have to be able to drive there; can’t take the subway or bus. I’m hoping that someone knows some little spot, natural or man made, somewhere in Red Hook, or between the bridges, or some place I’m not thinking of that I can get to without a huge commute. Thanks.
