There are some rocks near and in the water so bring water shoes. You don't have to worry about waves as this is the sound, except for speed boats passing by.

We like Kenney's beach & McCabe's on the sound but it seems that the beaches on the bay are much calmer and you can keep your umbrella up without the wind blowing it over. Very serene watching the sailboats and shelter island across the bay. The parking is really great and bathrooms are available too. P.S. Go to Billy's by the Bay (Wednesday-Sunday opened only) after to get some lobster as located on the same road :)

This beach is the only one we found where you could simply drive up, park, and get in the water without spending a dime. The swimming area is marked off by safety ropes. There is at least one lifeguard on duty until 5. You're technically swimming in the Peconic River just before it empties into Gardiners Bay. The view is of Shelter Island, and it's quite charming.

Small area for swimming (lifeguards on duty 11am-5pm in the summer), a couple fun and interesting playground structures with swings for babies and big kids, a sand floor volleyball court and wide open grassy space for running & ball-playing.

It was beautiful. Super clean beach! Let's keep it that way! DO NOT PARK HERE without a beach parking pass, otherwise you will get a $150 ticket and maybe even towed. The cops are constantly here checking for parking stickers, too.

My friend, a yoga goddess, called this place magical. Maidstone Beach is an out of the way bay…read morebeach with its own little cove, secret nooks and crannies, a very long jetty that kids love to climb. There is something perfect about Maidstone, so visually sweet and grand at the same time. I love to take pictures there. During the summer season, you will find it crowded with tourists that have been coming out with their families since their families brought them as children. If they didn't park their SUVs on the beach, we wouldn't hate them so. Why magical? Let me count the ways... There's the perfect swimming conditions for small children because the water is calm, yet the boulders of the extremely long jetty are perfect for the active kids. A local fisherman's utopia, where flounder and snapper abound. A favorite spot for kayaking, boating or stand-up-paddleboarding, it even has a covered pavilion where you can have a bonefide party (reserve with the town first!). It has lots of picnic tables, barbecues and seating with a restroom near by, plus a view of the bay down one of the sandy paths. It's white and loamy, with lots of dunes. Be careful though with dogs in the dunes because the deer bring with them ticks, so check them often. The serene waters are filled with lots of crayfish for kids to keep occupied. If you have a dog, like I do, they love to cool down in the Maidstone tranquil waters. That's where I got my cockapoo to swim the first time, now I can't get her out. It's also a fantastic place to jog, as it is surrounded by an exactly one mile road that loops. But most of all, it's the summer sunsets. My son and I run there around 7 pm every day after dinner to catch the golden blasts that echo on the water's surface. It's a visual masterpiece, but you need to be nearer to the jetty to get the full effect. By then, we're usually the only two on the beach and we both realize just how lucky we are to be so close to heaven.
