What a cute beach. I…read morecame for a little during the off season (4/25/25) after having lunch. It wasn't crowded at all. The beach was clean. I noticed what looked like bar area. There was also a place for the kids to borrow beach toys. There's also a playground. There is a lot you can park in if you have a permit, and street parking is also available. I could definitely see this beach getting crowded as the season gets closer, but I would definitely return.

We took a morning ferry from Sayville Harbor to Fire Island to hike a little and enjoy the beach…read more The beach had so many people on it already, even in the morning! It's not too crowded, not littered, and it's a departure from Long Island and Montauk which makes it interesting. The ferry was delightful as well, and really cheap. It makes for a good family beach day, and the little wooded hike/national preserve was super interesting to walk through and learn about the plants on the island! Beware of mosquitos though and bring your bug repellant!

Beautiful beach, not crowed at all. The nature that surrounds the island is absolutely gorgeous!read more

I come to this beach a lot to take photos and just relax. It's a beautiful little area I've been…read morevisiting for years. There are two "sides"... one side is the marina, where there is a long pier with benches and the sailing club. The other side is the public beach, with restrooms, playground, tennis court, small picnic area and walking path and beach. During the on-season there is a lifeguard during the day. I'm not sure of the dates, but starting in May and going through mid October is their on-season and they charge a ridiculous amount to park for non Islip Town residents. On top of that, they charge up until like 7:30pm which is terrible since nearly all local beaches stop charging after about 5pm. They are literally the only beach I know of that keeps someone at the booth until almost sundown. They also charge a fee even if you do have an Islip Rec card, and I was recently told by another beach employee they aren't allowed to do that. I don't know if it'll be the same guy this year, but he's mostly been not very friendly when I've encountered him. All of this is a huge bummer for an otherwise cool little beach! Needless to say, during their on-season, I pretty much don't go there except on rainy days and if no one is at the booth. The way they treat people is obnoxious. And for the record, I am an Islip town resident. Meanwhile, one town over the beach is free. One town further and it only costs money to park (until 5ish) and they have nicer amenities. This is a good example of why Long Island needs to create better beach access passes that make it easier for people to enjoy the shore.

Then again, the beach hut has lots of live music all season long and it's a solid go to when you can't quite make it to another beach, that being said, I think the journey elsewhere is worth it.
