Con's - Parking fees…read moreare out of this world - obnoxious locals - Parking fees are insane! Worth repeating lol.. Pro's I visited off season and after hours: my lovable Kylie would enjoy her time and run freely. Usually quiet, only the sound of the ocean, and it was just us. Today, I miss our times together @ Lido beach. May she run free through these waters; enjoy her afterlife experience. I love you Kylie - I miss you

I'm not really a NY beach person, per se. I love visiting beaches when on holiday because they are…read moreusually cleaner. However, Lido Beach was a nice surprise. Non-resident cars must pay $50 for parking and non-residents on foot pay $25. Residents pay $10. I believe the upped the non-resident fee significantly which is kind of crazy. I would suggest investing in one of those beach trolleys with the large wheels. It makes life so much easier. Unfortunately, I had one with thin wheels so it was a lot to drag that thing in the sand. We picked a spot not too far from the entrance but it was hell getting there with my cart. I have since returned it for a larger-wheeled cart. The water was very rough. I likely wouldn't return here with my toddler in tow but I wouldn't mind an adult's beach day outing here. The beach is very clean and there is ample space where you don't feel on top of other beach goers. The kids had a great time playing in the sand, making sand catles and running around. The seagulls are very aggressive. They were attacking people's unattended food. One guy had to chase away a pack of seagulls that descended upon some unsuspecting person's goodies. They're brazen and will go through your stuff while you're enjoying the water. After spending time on the beach, we went to the showers to rinse off. The shower water is really cold so be prepared for that. It was nice to see that the bathrooms were still clean after a full day out on the sand. Usually, these places look worse for wear after so many people have been using the facilities all day. I'm just happy that this outing made my daughter enjoy the beach and even the sand. She used to not want to walk in the sand. We had to carry her and place her on her chair or a mat but this day, she stopped being particular about her sensory issues with the sand and gave in, enjoying everything else she could do with it. It was great to see her evolution.

I love how clean and spacious the bathrooms are too, which is just a stark contrast to Field 6 facilities. Today I spent 2 hours walking the beach, observing birds and collecting some incredible sea shells. It really felt like my own little slice of heaven for nearly the entire time. If you're looking for a beach that is off the beaten path, West End Beach 2 is the spot you're looking for. Elite tip: Free parking after 6pm most days

As I sit in the sand writing this, I wonder why/how I ended up the Yelp Duke of Field 2 in Jones…read moreBeach. I mean, if I had like 24 check ins then I'd say "well duh," but I only have 3. What I also ponder is how I'm the first to review this spot. C'mon people, Field 2 is fine! Okay, I know it's not Field 4 at the hoppin' heart of JB. Yeah, it's not Field 6 either with its super close parking to the beach and non-radio signage (for those quieter beach days). But Field 2 still has it goin' on. They have their own little building with some food and drink (and beach shop). Their parking is just like Field 6, pulling right up to the cusp of the sand (and not having to walk half a mile from the lot like at 4). Oh and that umbrella line even helps to get you a little closer to the water (if you don't have one) without any obstructions. There's a lot to like here. Maybe the biggest downer would be the walk. It's wonderful Jones Beach has those mats down in the sand to make the stroll to the beach easier, but Field 2 feels like a trek, an expedition, a fourth installment of The Lord Of The Rings as Frodo journeyed through Middle Earth. Okay, maybe not that bad, and from start to finish, still shorter than Field 4's total steps, but it's easy to understand why some people just park themselves way back in the sand. If you're not in good walking condition, consider getting up early and going to 6. Besides this, and perhaps the bathrooms that leave something to be desired, Field 2 is on par with the rest of Jones Beach. Overall, like I just said, Field 2 is a quality beach spot for your summer needs. It's got quite a walk to the shoreline, but once there, you get everything you want from any other beach on Long Island. Go at an off time and you might even feel like you're on some (mostly) private beach getaway. Give it a shot before the warm weather ends. And hey, you might even see Field 2's Yelp Duke there.

My first (and hopefully not my last) time here at my friends invitation. Very easy to get to off the Loop Parkway and parking was free after 5:30. From my home in Mineola, it was less than a 30 minute drive. This is a great spot to sit back, relax and take in the beauty of the day. The park has basketball courts, a pool and a store for food supplies. This is definitely a relaxing place to bring your kids for the day. I totally understand families who rent the cabanas for the summer. So many people and kids all having a great time. The beach is not a far walk but I opted out of the water for the day. We came there on July 3rd to relax and watch the fireworks show from Town. My friends cabana is perfectly situated so we could sit back and easily watch the show. Very clean here... The staff is constantly cleaning the area and removing garbage (from the pails.) KUDOs to the team at Nickerson Beach.

We played doubles, and my partner and I won the game against the other two players. Points are scored only when the serving team wins a rally, and I am a good server. I learned fast how to make the ball hit the court in front the blue line, which is known as the kitchen. Elvis, the head coach, was thorough in his explanation of the fundamentals of the game. We practiced our skills with our peers, getting feedback from the coach that was assigned to our court. There was a coach for each of the eight courts, and each court had four players. I learned the rules of the game and how to score. The goal is to keep the ball out of the kitchen. You can only volley outside the kitchen. The class lasted approximately two hours, and we all had fun. I will definitely be back to take more classes. Go to "Hempsteadny.gov keyword: pickleball lessons" if you are interested in learning this highly popular game. ADVISORY: Coach Elvis said that classes registered for online usually fill up within 15 minutes, and summer registration begins on 6/3/2025.
