This park is also called Centre Island Beach technically in Oyster Bay, an unincorporated village…read morewithin Bayville Township (not to be confused with the Town of Oyster Bay). Sometimes the term Village Park also locally refers to West Harbor Beach which has a memorial park and is 1mi southwestwest of this one and on W Harbor Dr not Bayville Ave. My primary memory of this beach upon last visit 8y ago for wedding photos is its stillness. At the time, its famously large parking lot was 1/8th under construction, but even then the large lot was expansive with only 8 of its 300+ spots occupied on a weekday afternoon. The beach has LI Sound on the north and Oyster Bay on the south along a strip of land only a few dozen feet wide, a precious connection with the idyllicly insular, posh, largely gated isolated estates beyond with the island's own police force conspicuously posted at the only chokepoint entry. It's mostly low slung sand dunes, all environmentally sensitive so tread with care, with the usual tender grasses poking through and some barer patches of grass and dried flattened brush. A few hiking trails a few minutes long are on the far western and eastern peripheries. There's a large football field right of entrance used by Falcon Pride for local school sports programs. Two basketball courts are left of entrance. An annual summer festival uses this parking lot which is the largest public such in the area. All maintenance and conditions are prime and peak. The photography day's other stops were nearby Central Island Beach across Oyster Bay and Planting Fields Arboretum also in Oyster Bay. All are highly recommended for which I posted reviews.

There are a lot of recreational areas, including a nice kid playground. Keep in mind that this is the bay, not 'the beach.' You can swim in the water and lay on the sand, but it's rocky (this is the north shore, after all). Some ocean-going purists may not like it, but it's fine by me! I also love that this is so close to the main drag in Oyster Bay. It's super convenient to pick up some food or drinks if you didn't pack your own.

Oh, it's changed. When I was here in the mid-80s, there were no ball field or tennis courts.

The park now has tennis courts, a softball field, picnic shelter, a playground and a huge parking lot. There are several memorials including one to Theodore Roosevelt. You'll also find a boat ramp and a view of Oyster Bay Harbor. [Review 15330 overall, 832 of 2021, number 215 in New York.]

The sun was a bit lower in the sky but just over the trees and was beautiful to look at as we kayaked through the bay. If you're any bit of a nervous nelly there are boats that also come through the bay but they did tend to stay further away from us. The staff are quite friendly too. And there is a place right nearby called Coopers Bluff where we had went to grab a frozen drink after and watch the sunset. Overall a great time and great date night!

The website provided all the information we needed to be prepared for our adventure. Upon arrival, Joe and Connor got us fitted with our safety vests and our kayaks and then gave us lessons on how to use the paddle, get in/out of the kayak and provided general navigation and waterway guidance; from there we were off and loving life! We kayaked in Cold Spring Harbor just behind the lab and had an awesome time. It was so relaxing and quiet as we glided across the water. Joe led us in the front and Connor picked up the rear so we always felt safe and in good hands. Since this was our first time, we opted for a 1hour lesson/tour and Joe told us that most of his customers, at the end of the tour, say they wanted more time. We all felt the same way and can't wait to go back. If you're thinking about kayaking... go for it and definitely do it with JK Kayak & SUP. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Joe and Connor for such a fun afternoon!!!
