👍👍 If your adventurous or just love to explore new things. This beach is the place to be. Its a nude beach, so...no children allowed; unless its a baby.

Spring Lake North End Pavilion

Public beach

👍👍 Clean and quiet beach. Not overcrowded. The bathrooms are giant with many stalls. Clean and supplied. However, we were there in the afternoon and unfortunately most of the stalks in the ladies room were clogged, filthy and some even had trash bins turned upside down on the toilets. Tourists...

Overlook Beach

Beach pavillion

👍👍 Nice beach, but usually for Town of Babylon residents except on special occasions like the annual kite festival which was very nice. Small parking lot so it fills up quickly, get there early. Beach is only a couple of steps away from the parking lot which is great. The ocean is very close as well.

Branford Point

Park

👍👍 Small-town charm. There's a small crescent shaped beach, walkways and a trail you can stroll through. Summer gets heavy with traffic as expected but mostly locals. You need a Branford parking sticker in the main lot, the tiny lot at the fishing pier is 2hrs max.

Gilgo Beach

Marina

😐 Legend has it, during the 1860’s a great fisherman / clammer named Gill Burch lived by where Gilgo beach is now. He was so great that if you wanted a good catch, you go where “Gill goes”. And so, the beach was named Gil-go. Beware of the serial killer that has been dumping bodies near by. These cas...

Veterans Beach

Park

👍👍 I have loved this beach ever since I was a child. When it first opened up, the playground was rusted and rebuilt from the ground up. The snack bar was in the weathered red building right by the boardwalk back then. This beach holds a lot of memories for me. I recently visited again after five years...
