    Absolutely beautiful view of the beach! The trails are relatively easy. My 3 kids (3, 5 and 10) enjoyed the walk so much, especially they loved climbing rocks by the beach. There seemed lots of poison ivy nearby the trail, but should be fine if you stay on the path. My 3 kids (3, 5 and 10) had no issues finished the trail. The parking space for non-residents are so limited, so I suggest to go early.

    Beautiful, "hidden" spot, in an area you might just miss like we did... (Yelp's directions are WRONG, ask a local, or use google maps!!!) but DEFINITELY worth a visit. You've got to go off season, if you're not a resident of Smithtown, but I personally think it's a bonus to just about have the place to yourself on a cold, crisp off-season visit, as we did, than to try to fight the crowds. My friends fish here in warmer weather, and there's a great boat ramp, though kayak and canoe launching is not allowed (boo!!) Nearby Nissequogue River State Park is a great choice for the smaller stuff. There are several hiking trails, a restaurant that apparently is only open summer months, and beautiful views!! No bluffing... This is a BEAUTIFUL spot, and definitely worth a visit!!!

    Perfect place to watch the sunset and sunrise. Ideal for a day at the park with friends, family and loved ones.

    When I am strolllllling down memory lane, there is one special place to go when on Long Island - the Kings Park Bluff... If you have a boat -- well good for you -- it's a great place for take off and explore the sound; saunter up to the Port Jefferson docks. I prefer driving to the top and hiking along the cliff or down along the rocky beach. The bluff was notorious for revvving up the car and playing frisbee... although there are still moments of this in the summertime wind... it is just a nice place to watch the water, skip a couple of rocks, and day dream...

    I was driving around kings park, and thought I would check this place out as I am always looking for adventure. The directions were off so i decided to continue down to the water past an old crumbling hospital only to end up by the water at this boat ramp with this amazing view. I decided to go up to the upper park lot where there were trails and a sign saying bluffs so I assumed I arrived...and it was well worth it. I climbed up these bluffs and was rewarded with the views I illustrated in my pics.

    Low tide!

    Purchased in 1885 by kings county asylum of Brooklyn, the property went on to become a self…read morecontained community of sorts offering mental help and care as well as a home to the patients that lived here. Being completely self sufficient, Kings County Asylum boasted its own Vegetable gardens and dairy at its height, it also supplied its own power through a small private electric plant on the premises. Eventually through modernization and improvements in medicine and health care the property eventually started to decommission buildings and no longer took on new patients. Completely closing around 1996 it eventually was turned over to the state becoming a park in 2000. I found Nissquogue river state park to be a very interesting park to visit, the north end of the park offers a nice walking trail as well as beautiful views of the Nissquogue river with over looking bluffs and a small beach front not for swimming. You will find a marina on the property offering boat slips as well as a boat launch if you choose to trailer your boat in for the day and many places to launch your kayak from and travel the river. Most of the property appears to still be in a developmental stage as far as parks go. Walking the property is an explorers delight allowing you to check out the decommissioned hospital buildings and infrastructure some of which dates back to the late 1800's and early 1900's.

    Beautiful state park. Free now but use your Empire pass or pay $8 or $10 per car during the summer…read more Was a mental hospital for veterans in its early years. The abandoned buildings and sad history may turn off some. It's not as popular as other nearby parks probably because of its history but the wraparound water views and green make this place a gem. Bathrooms open daily until sunset. Clean and well maintained. On a Spring rain day, I dined Al fresco with a friend and enjoyed being outdoors under cover.

    I've passed this hidden gem THOUSANDS of times, and while back in NY for a long weekend finally…read moredecided to check it out. Though I grew up less than 15-20 min. away, this beach was not in my township (Huntington) so we stuck to our own local N. Shore Long Island Sound beaches (rather than pay a craaazy entry fee). Off season, everyone's a resident of everywhere/anywhere, so a beautiful, sunny February afternoon was a PERFECT opportunity to check out Callahans. We had the whole place to ourselves, and my sister and I checked out the upper picnic area, the new/improved playground, and the wonderful views around the perimeter of the parking lot. Rumor has it there are other trails, but we did not see them, so we ventured down to the entrance to the beach to get a closer look at the BEAUTIFUL views... NOTE: I don't believe you can park in the little circle near the stairs leading down to the beach, though strangely enough, there are handicapped parking spaces there. This beach is many things: scenic, secluded, convenient if you live in the area, great for families, picnics, and golf fans, but it is definitely NOT handicapped friendly, unless you just plan to enjoy the view from above. There are MANY steps to get down to that beautiful beach, and you'd better be in reasonably good shape AND not forget anything in your car, because it's a TRIP up and down those stairs. While my sister and I didn't find the hiking trails that are supposedly there, we did hike the full length of the beach, a WONDERFUL walk all the way to neighboring Sunken Meadow State Park beach and back. BEAUTIFUL, invigorating, and very do-able, nearly 3 miles back and forth. Well worth the "ride!!" Some of the best things/places on Long Island are still free, especially if you go off season... Check this place out!!
