Guide
Good to know
Come for walking trails, not primarily swimming
The 2.5-mile loop around the peninsula with views of Manhattan and the Sound is the standout feature; water.
Plan around high tide for swimming
At high tide the water is deeper and better for swimming, while low tide creates wide shallow flats.
Visit November through April for free access
Non-residents pay $40 parking plus $10 per person May through October, but entrance is completely free during winter months.
Arrive early on summer weekdays
The parking lot fills by late morning on warm weekends, and weekday mornings offer a quieter experience.
Bring dogs December through March only
Dogs are allowed off-leash in winter months but strictly prohibited the rest of the year, with enforcement reported as strict.
