A true 5 star beach. I grew up not far away and almost lived here in the summertime. Lifeguards on duty from about 9-5:30 from Memorial Day to Labor Day. I've been to east coast beaches, west coast and Hawaii. The only ones that compete are Hawaii, particularly one near barking sands. But overall this is my favorite to return to. read more

You wanna play then you gotta pay! Cupsogue Beach has their own parking fees. NY State Parking permit? Too bad so sad sucka, pay! And the police? They are in full uniform scouring this beach looking for sun bathers with open containers. You'll get a ticket, they don't play around. If you can handle the PoPo watching you, then (Do the Jussaric Park voice) Welcome to Cupsogue Beach The sugar sand beaches. Clean water. Clean everything! Do you think Summer folks in West Hampton want Riff Raff and garbage anywhere on Dune Rd? Surely you jest. (And don't call me Shirley) read more

The Beach Hut on Dune rd is a fun place to go in the summer during the day, or if you want to catch a sun set. They have live music all day, and close at 9pm. The food is very basic. Basically beach seafood and finger foods. They have a bar also where you can get mixed drinks or daiquiris. If you are looking to get a quick bite on the beach, or want to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset on the ocean and not break your wallet, then this is the place. Music is kind of loud, and if you are going to come with a big party don't expect to find seating for everyone. read more

Clean water, soft sand, responsible lifeguards, greedy fat seagulls, beautiful beach with enough shell to pick. Not crowded on weekend, maybe because of the low temperature. Lodges nearby are cute. We walked far toward east, but didn't see any sign of seals, but a big crab was walking on the beach. And the transparent gel we found on the beach, don't know what it is. On a cloudy day, we saw a few surfers playing with the big wave. Kids had great fun. About 1 hour 40 minutes drive from NYC, without much traffic(maybe we are very lucky). $15 for parking. Restroom is not big but convenient, not sure whether there will be a long queue on busy days. Open to 17:30 in summer, lifeguard leave right on time. read more

Hung out at Cupsogue Beach on Thursday morning. A very nice and isolated beach, but the water can get choppy, and at least when we visited during the week there were no lifeguards. Quality: Cupsogue Beach is a very nice beach in Long Island. It is hard to get a true assessment because we visited during COVID, and technically shouldn't have even been there. However, being that it was a relatively quiet weekday, we did not have any issues. We just settled into part of the large swath of sand and enjoyed the morning sun. The waves were very intense during our visit, knocking down at least two kids, so just be careful and heed the warning signs. Quantity: A massive stretch of beach, with tons of sand. Value: Currently resident only, but the signs showed $18. We ended up avoiding both the resident restriction and the fee by arriving before 8:30am. Ambiance: Cupsogue Beach is a pretty stretch of beach in Westhampton, Long Island. Located at the end of a two lane road of a quiet community, the beach is a quiet getaway. Definitely not as popular or well known as other Long Island beaches, this seemed like a bigger draw for locals, even when non-residents are permitted. The beach has some amenities, like showers and bathrooms, though I did not wander over to see the COVID status. Crowd: Even on an overcast weekday, the parking lot still ended up about half full. Luckily it is a large beach, with plenty of space of folks to space out. Also, I saw a ton of folks out with their dogs, though no signs saying whether or not that was actually permitted. Service: I saw a few staff members riding along the beach in carts helping keep things tidy, but I felt they could have used a few lifeguards. The waves were very rough, and the single sign near the entry did not seem to deter beachgoers from going in the water. Parking: Massive parking lot along the beach. read more

This beach hut has really good food. The food is always fresh. The staff is always friendly and they have great food choice selections. They also have a great bar. The banana mudslide is out of this world. Prices are high. But it's worth it for a beach day. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich which came with fries. It was really tasty and moist. I also ordered the coconut shrimp spring rolls. They were out of this world!!!!! read more

Nice beach. $18 to park. Complementary sunscreen provided by the local hospital and pull string showers available to rinse off. Lifeguards on duty. Snack bar is available. They allow smoking on the beach (which was surprising). Can get crowded on the weekend, but there was still plenty of room for everyone. You can even search for some nice sized seashells. read more

Cupsogue Beach Hut - Playing in the waves and searching for seashells - Beaches Near Me - Westhampton Beach, New York

Let's get this right people. Cupsogue is one of the few public east end beaches. Clearest blue water, beautiful sunrises, incredible late afternoon fun, food, live music... It is like a post card most days... ....sans the large, boisterous, and disrespectful groups that plop their yards of beach crap 2 feet from the person who actually planned ahead, got an early start, and chose to sit up close to the water with an unobstructed view of the ocean and their kids. Think of it this way...if you go to see a band play and you show up 2-3 hours after the doors open, do you walk in front of everyone so you can be right in front of the band?? The answer is no, for those of you still trying to make he connection. The same goes for the beach. It is rude, and tactless to make the assumption that you and the 6 moms, 12 teenagers, 5 preschoolers, and that one--hot mess can waltz onto the beach and take over when clearly it is a first come first serve basis. This is the final frontier of public beaches in the east. WHY do people want to denigrate the beautiful place that it is? Common sense says: ---Be cognizant of personal space ---If you bring it on the beach, bring it off the beach (do you want trash cans like they have at Jones Beach? :o/ yuk) ---IF YOU HAVE LITTLE ONES AND WANT FRONT ROW, GET THERE EARLY OR WALK FAR ENOUGH TO WHERE THERE IS A FRONT ROW SPACE. ---Cigarettes have no business being at a beach. The STINK carries further than you think. Not to mention the sand does NOT = an ashtray. It is a beautiful place and we are so lucky to have it. Can we please work together to keep it beautiful and enjoyable? read more

Lifeguards: June 18-Sept. 5, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Daily Resident Parking (Green Key Holders) $ 5.00 Sr. Cit./Handicap/Volunteer w/Green Key (Mon.-Fri. Except Holidays.) FREE Tourist Parking (Non Green Key Holders) 10.00 In the 1950s the park was acquired by the Suffolk County Parks Department. By the 1970s Cupsogue Beach County Park was given a pavilion and boardwalk. This park is home to many piping plovers, a federally protected shorebird. Cupsogue Beach has restrooms, first aid center, showers and changing rooms are all situated at Cupsogue's pavilion. Campers and recreational vehicles are permitted along the access road running parallel to the outer beach. Camping fees apply. Diving is permitted at slack tide on the bay side of the park only. It is a fishing beach and seems to be more wild and less commerical. It seems there is always a shark sighting there. http://westhampton-hamptonbays.patch.com/articles/beach-goers-head-to-cupsogue-beach-to-see-sharks There are seals at this beach as well. http://www.cresli.org/cresli/seals/seal_sightings.html 4 stars for having real wild life like real beaches that are alive and not dead like many popular LI beaches. Again no matter what the web sites say there are no white sand beaches on LI. But for a LI beach this one comes close to being more natural than the others. read more

Beautiful beach in Westhampton Dunes which is great to come layout in the summer or do a nature walk in the spring and fall. Come in the winter, if you're lucky during low tides, you'll see harbor seals. Parking is $15 in summer but free off season. It's a nice and more peaceful park to come. read more

This beach is clean and beautiful. Small but a great beach. However Cupsogue Beach is a very family oriented beach. I would check it out once. read more

This is my favorite beach on the Island! Disappointed to see after another off season they haven't rebuilt the restroom/shower facilities yet and are still using a trailer that houses toilets and sinks only; no showers or changing area. Delicious frozen concoctions but $11 plus tip is mighty steep to enjoy a mudslide...not like they have much overhead with the trailer! Bring cash; there's an ATM there but they don't accept credit cards. Beach itself is picturesque, clean and family friendly; overall nice clientele. $9 entry fee with Green Key. read more

Beautiful beach, one of the best on Eastern LI. We sometimes head down here from the North Fork on summer weekends for a beach day, and always have a blast at Cupsogue. The beach itself is long and beautiful, with soft sand and epic waves. We've never had a jellyfish problem and the water is usually within fair temperature. There is plenty of space on this wide beach but do come early to get a good spot up front by the lifeguards (the tan attractive ones with the tiny green speedos). It's a $15 entrance fee for anyone without a green pass for the beaches around here, which is a small price to pay for an otherwise perfect Hamptons beach. The drive down Dune road is very nice with all the beach houses, but it does tend to get backed up in late weekend mornings (rush hour). There was a fire that occurred at the end of last summer that destroyed the entire boardwalk section, but they recently rebuilt and renovated. I happen to think it looks a lot nicer now, where the snack bar (your average greasy beach-type food) is located near the parking lot and the boardwalk ascends up to the sand. It is a very nice layout that is brand new and clean. Overall, an excellent and beautiful beach for a day of sun in Westhampton. read more

Expensive but good food and drinks available served by friendly bartenders. I go to Cupsogue for birding/bird studies and spend most of my time on the flats or doing sea watching. I often get lots of questions once folks see me and others looking out into the Ocean with our sporting scopes. The staff at Beach Hut has always been good to all Birders/researchers and over the years and we in turn support the business. Some of us do more than just eat and enjoy a Margarita or two...or three on the rocks. It is well made and you could request the good stuff, just expect to pay a bit more. The beachgoers may look at you out of curiosity but no one has ever been disrespectful to me personally. A safe beach with a camaraderie type feel to it. Make sure you observe the speed limit when driving Dune road. The constables are pretty cool but do their jobs well. One of my favorite places on Long Island and I don't even use the beach for leisure stuff...unless you count staring at Gulls your thing read more

The fiancé and I came here to watch the sunrise and it's gorgeous! Took a stroll along the beach and we practically had the whole beach to ourselves. It gets crowded as the day goes on. We will definitely be back. The admission fee of 15 dollars starts from 8.30am to 5pm. read more

Awesome job Cynthia F. You said it perfectly. Sadly, all summer long we have run into people on the beach like this. We make it a point to get down to the beach early to insure that we get a nice spot near the water so we can keep an eye on our children. This year has been the worse. All summer long, we have had rude people setting up around us. We were convinced that the "Beach Etiquette" that we all grew up with was dead. We had "umbrella lady" who set her umbrella up sooo close to us that we felt the shade. The best was watching "Tent lady" coming down the beach at 1pm looking for a spot. We were watching her and saying where does she think she is going??? She found a spot! In front of us...off to the right a little. She actually squeezed 8 people, 3 chairs, coolers...boogie boards and luggage into the smallest area and then set a tent up. It was soo unbelievable, we couldnt say anything. We sat back and watched "tent lady" and "umbrella lady" fight it out. LOL It is refreshing to know that there are NORMAL... WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS like you and your family on the beaches. See you next summer!!! read more

Dora the bartender is so amazing! I live local & visit a few times a week she always has a positive attitude & is so happy with a smile on her face! She really makes my day & time there great, she makes amazing drinks & i look forward to coming & seeing her! I would 100% recommend going there just for HER! Thank you so much for the great service! :) read more

Beautiful beach, nice atmosphere. No heavy duty bouncers like at Smith Point. Was afraid of what the food situation would be since Beach Shack and boardwalk burned down last year, but they are up and running. One improvement is that they separated bar service area from food service area. Friendly staff, quick service. Also have 2nd bar on boardwalk near where bands play from 5 to 9. Outdoor showers nicer now too. They are right on boardwalk and they even have a foot shower. The old showers were in a muddy dark area. Can't wait to go back. With the green key, parking is affordable, especially since its free during the week for seniors with green key. read more

A beautiful beach to visit in the summer with a wonderful drive on Dune road to get there. However; it is equally beautiful in the winter. The beach is a popular spot for seal walks where you can see dozens of harbor and gray seals on the rocks and in the nearby water. The last visit we were also lucky to see a pair of snowy owls. Try to time your trip for low tide for the best views. A great choice for a chilly walk along the shore. 4x4 cars can drive the entire route read more

The food at Cupsogue is very bad. The squid appetizer was the worst I ever had. There were about 12 soggy rings for 12 dollars plus tax. The hamburgers are so small that I thought they were sliders. The words hockey puck come to mind. The drinks are over priced, beers eight dollars plus tax and mixed drinks twelve dollars plus tax. The music and views are good as always. read more

Am I on Long Island or in Florida? Been here my whole life and never ventured on Dune road. What a beautiful ride, you could be anywhere! Try the mussels here. Live band, right on the beach. Big beach! Love Long Island!!! read more

Holy hell have the prices gone up at the LI beaches.. This beach is very clean and enjoyable. But just FYI, if you don't feel like paying the huge parking fee, there are a couple tiny beaches along dune road that don't charge you. Drive through and check it out, there is definitely at least one or two free parking ones available, their just kind of hidden along the road so keep your eyes open! read more

It is what it is...a good time down at the beach. The food is what you'd expect (fried but actually pretty decent). There's live music during the summer... So if the weather is with you... You're all set. read more

In my opinion this is the best beach on Long Island (2nd best is Montauk because you can light fires on the beach at night). This beach is always clean. It gets very crowded in the areas closest to the boardwalk so we usually drive to the far end of the parking lot and go over the dune just before the RV area and it's a lot less crowded and not as noisy. If you come here on the weekends you defianetly want to arrive early because when the parking lot fills up you are out of luck and that sucks. They have bathrooms here as well as showers. Live music on the deck. The Beach Hut bar makes delicious frozen mudslides and pina coladas...Perfect on a hot day. They have a nice selection of food on their menu and they sell ice cream too. It's pretty pricey to park here so I suggest purchasing the Green Key. You still have to pay with it but it's not as expensive. Well worth it & you only have to renew it every 3 years or so. read more

Just came back from a wonderful few days in the Hamptons the week leading up to July 4th. This beach was beautiful, clean and user friendly. The parking fee was $15 but I am told after 5pm you can go for free. Money well spent for a great day at the beach. read more
