Babylon - all beaches

Undeveloped or undiscovered beaches, commonly referred to as wild beaches, serve as vital biomes for marine biodiversity. These beaches are not altered for recreational or tourism purposes and play a critical role in the breeding and nesting of sea turtles, seabirds, and penguins. The preservation of these beaches and their accompanying dunes also provides protection for inland ecosystems and human infrastructure from extreme weather conditions. A beach is a landform situated beside a body of water, comprising of loose particles such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, mollusc shells, or coralline algae. The density and structure of sediments on a beach vary depending on the local wave action and weather, creating an array of unique landscapes.

We had a pleasant afternoon at Robert Moses Beach, as usual. Unfortunately, they have reinstated the $10 admission fee for non Empire pass holders. The parking lot has been marked with cones to ensure social distancing, with every other spot blocked off. On the beach, everyone was respectful of the social distancing guidelines. We even had the pleasure of seeing a couple of dolphins!

The panorama is very beautiful"

This stunning beach has a plethora of amenities that cater to all your needs, including a snack bar and a tiki bar. You can enjoy live music, volleyball, basketball, and even savor a delicious BBQ meal with the available grills. Moreover, the beach is conveniently located just a stone's throw away from the water, making it an ideal spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze.

The beach is really lovely and it's practically empty during June. It's also very clean and well-maintained when it's not peak season.
