This place is absolutely incredible. If you're someone who loves going to the beach, this spot deserves a perfect 5-star rating. However, as a Professional Photographer, I would consider it a 5-star location if they had longer operating hours. It's ideal for capturing breathtaking sunrise and sunset views, but unfortunately, they open too late and rush you out immediately after sunset. On the bright side, the police officers here are extremely friendly and do a great job maintaining order. They are also very helpful and knowledgeable.
This beach is a stunning blend of smooth sand and rocky terrain, characteristic of the North Shore of Long Island. It boasts an array of amenities, including scenic trails, a playground, a seasonal snack bar, an environmental center, and restrooms. Additionally, visitors can take advantage of the boat launch. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, a Brookhaven Town permit is required to access the beach. Any time of the year, this is an idyllic location to witness the beauty of the sunset.
The sandy shores of this beach are exclusively reserved for members, ensuring a serene and secluded atmosphere. If you happen to stumble upon this hidden gem, you may go unnoticed. However, parking can be a challenge as it is restricted to residents only, forcing visitors to navigate the treacherous and steep Broadway road on foot.
