The 30th annual Mermaid Parade was held Saturday in Coney Island.

Parade-watchers lined up along Surf Avenue to watch floats and colorful marchers dressed in their best sea creature and mermaid outfits.

Organizers were hoping to top the 500,000 people who lined the parade route last year.

This year's Queen Mermaid and King Neptune were actress Annabella Sciorra and comedian Jackie Martling.

The parade started at 21st Street and Surf Avenue.

It ran to 10th Street then along the boardwalk before wrapping up at 15th Street.

The over-the-top ocean-themed parade pays homage to Coney Island's Mardi Gras, which took place from 1903 to 1954.
