Plan visits around summer events
The beach hosts popular outdoor concerts, fireworks shows, and car shows from spring through Labor Day.
Visit off-season for solitude
Early morning, September, and winter visits offer nearly empty beaches with clean facilities and peaceful birding opportunities.
Budget $50 for non-resident parking
Out-of-state visitors pay $50 per vehicle; Town of Hempstead residents pay $10, with free entry after 5pm.
Expect sharp shells underfoot
Bring water shoes or sandals, as broken shells scattered throughout the sand can cut feet during walking or activity.
Check bathroom availability by season
Facilities are spotless in summer but winterized and closed during off-season months.
