Guide
Good to know
Come for sunset views
Multiple visitors highlight beautiful sunset views over the Great South Bay and Fire Island as a reason to visit.
Ideal for young children
Calm bay waters, on-site playground, lifeguards in summer, and nearby parking make this suitable for families with small kids.
Pay entry fee if non-resident
Non-residents pay $10 per person in summer; bring cash as card payment options may be limited.
Visit early morning or shoulder season
Reviewers report it stays uncrowded compared to larger beaches like Robert Moses or Jones Beach, especially outside peak summer.
Expect a small bayside beach
This is a bay beach with modest sand and calm water rather than ocean waves, so manage expectations accordingly.
