👍👍 Before I even get to the nature part, I have to share this lovely story about an Island Beach State Park hero! Last year, my son brought a few of his special stuffed animals to include them in the family trip. He accidentally left them behind and was crushed at their loss. The next morning I called...

👍👍 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.

Belmar Beachfront 19th Avenue
Public beach
👍👍 The beach is pleasantly clean and nice. It's a shame that they charge to get on the beach. We traveled over 14 states on our last road trip and didn't have to pay to get on any beaches, and they were so much cleaner. The parking is hard here, you usually have to walk for blocks. We stayed near the...

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...
