Long Island
is bordered by hundreds of miles of clean, white sand
beaches along both the ocean and the bay, surrounded by
secluded dunes, Cliffside bluffs and lighthouses. Some
of the best public beaches in the world are located on
Long Island featuring miles of boardwalks, beach trails,
restaurants, picnic areas and the most spectacular
sunrises and sunsets to be found anywhere.
There are over 150 (one hundred and fifty) world-class
beaches operated be the state, county, town and local
municipalities. These include the famous beaches in the
Hamptons, on Fire Island, along the rocky north shore
cliffs and the famous Robert Moses State Park and Jones
Beach. Jones Beach is a 2,400 acre park which offers a
six mile stretch of ocean beach, two mile boardwalk, bay
beach, pool, golf, and the concerts at the famous
outdoor marine theater. A few Long Island beaches are
open only to residents, but most, including all of the
major state parks, are open to everyone. All beaches
have either a parking or entrance fee from Memorial Day
to Labor Day.
