This review is specifically about the hiking trails at Sunken Meadow. One option is to create a beautiful loop by combining the Greenbelt trail from parking lot 3 to Kings Park Bluff, and then returning along the shoreline. Another possibility is to return via an unmarked trail near St Johnland cemetery. I also explored the less popular Wetland trail from parking lot 2. To complete a loop, you can return via Sunken Meadow road, but be aware that it can be quite busy.
This solitary tree on the beach exudes a mystical aura, making it the ideal spot to witness a stunning sunset. It was by sheer chance that we stumbled upon this hidden gem on a cloudy day, which turned out to be the most awe-inspiring sunset we had ever witnessed. The beach is scattered with numerous oyster shells, adding to its natural charm. The tranquil waters are so serene, beckoning visitors to take a dip and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.
The beach offers stunning views and a pleasant shoreline. Ideal for leisurely strolls or angling enthusiasts. However, it is important to bear in mind that it is a public beach.
This beach is absolutely stunning, especially when it comes to the breathtaking sunset. I highly recommend visiting.
This was my go-to beach as a kid. The water is tranquil and the atmosphere is serene, making it perfect for doing laps. However, it's exclusive to Glen Cove residents only. If you're visiting someone who lives there, you can get a guest pass from City Hall.
