    Nickerson Beach
    Freeyah-Knycky C.

    Nickerson Beach located in Lido Beach is an artiste's paradise during the week. My visit was early spring 2019 and except for that lone figure walking the sand it was God and I. It's just great for anyone wanting some solitude. It's the beach so it was extremely windy but coupled with the noon day spring sun it was very much a bit of heaven on Earth. I won't recommend the sea here for swimming, it looked nothing like a sea should. Maybe try fishing? Ion. I can see families having a fun time here when the beach opens up though. Picnics, beach games........ I noticed two full basketball courts with four baskets so get your game on if the beach isn't your thing. You'd have to drive by Nickerson Campground to get to the beach parking lot then after a (boarded) walk.....**sweet sighs** you're there. The End.

    ILLEGALLY CLOSED!! In 2022 The Dover Group and Butch Yamali were granted concession rights to run certain auspices of Nickerson Beach. Unfortunately they took it upon themselves in the Winter of 2022 to illegally lock the gates to all outdoor facilities this "Nassau County" park. The beach and boardwalks at Nickerson are still very much accessible if you park at either the Point Lookout or Lido Beach TOH parking lots. Winter wildlife is viewable up and down the beach including Purple Sandpipers at the Point Lookout Jetty.

    My family won the LOTTERY! Well the Cabana lottery that is! (lol.) They have been entering the lotto every year for years, to hopefully be chosen for the sacred three year summer Cabana's at Nickerson Beach. Well, 2016 was their year! I have never been much of a beach person because the sun just kills me after no more than 30 minutes. Having a Cabana? Like a tiny cabin to retreat in, have some drinks, BBQ, chill? Ummmm yes please. I am there! Nickerson opened Memorial Day weekend and you know we were there moving in. My mom is pretty creative so she seriously turned the Cabana into an apartment! Pictures, shelves, fridge, micro, toaster, coffee pot...she hooked it up! Need a band-aid mom has it at the Cabana. Any seasoning you want for your steak? Come to our court! I have been lucky enough to spend most weekends relaxing at the Cabana, swimming in the ocean, learning how to light a BBQ, and enjoying what we truly are blessed with the beaches of LI. It is great meeting new people and seeing them every week, getting to know their kids, grilling, talking and truly just soaking up the fun and sun. They have "movie nights" for the kids on Sunday nights, but I heard it is really buggy down there. There is a golf course and tennis courts for the sport-sy types. Playgrounds for the kids, concession stand, an in ground pool and baby pool. Large parking area, but on super busy occasions, (Memorial Day, July 4th) can get tough. Always parking though just a bit more of a hike. The beach is a bit of a walk but by the time you are shorefront, it is all worth it. It is just a happy environment all and all. Really don't want summer to end this year!

    Ok beach to come to in Lido Beach. The actual beach itself is very big and quite a hike from the parking lot. The sand is extra soft as well so it's nice to lay out. The ocean here is murkier here than eastern Long Island and the surf is often rough so it's not ideal for swimming. Here's the bad part. Even if you're a resident, you have to pay $10 for parking. Non resident is $30!!!! Rip off! Come late in the afternoon like I do just to sit and relax by the ocean.

    This was my first time here and it was SUPER NICE. Parking was a little expensive, $30/vehicle. The parking lot was huge so plenty of places to park. Before you make the long trek to the beach, there was a very clean bathroom, concession stand with snacks, and a park/play area. The long walk to get to the part of the beach where you're remotely close to water was a bit exhausting while lugging tons of beachy things, nonetheless, it was worth it. There were designated lifeguard areas to swim in the ocean. There were also trash cans along the beach. Growing up near the Jersey shore, I've been to a ton of beaches and this one really is incredible! I highly recommend!!

    Came here for the #FDNY annual picnic. It's a very clean beach! But nothing to write home about.

    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.
