At the end of the road is a small (for a beach) parking lot. There appears to be separate bath houses and restrooms.

Lots of shore for walking. I was here in March, so lots of shells on the beach. It's right near the Orient Point ferry, so you could easily come over with your bike and spend the day.

Nearly all of the park is dirty and rock road, not very smooth. Signs are posted that a park decal is required but I decided that was a rule I could bend since I wasn't sticking around. Down the road and out to the end, I found a nice parking area (not smooth and ouchies on my car). Despite the chill and the howling wind, I was able to get quite close to the lighthouse and enjoy the view of Plum Gut. This is the very tip of the northern fork at the very end of Long Island. There are no amenities here. It's a beach park without toilets or shelters. Probably great for fishing. On a warmer and sunnier and less rainy day, this would be a fabulous park. Maybe a better road would get us to five stars. [Review 15305 overall, 807 of 2021, number 194 in New York.]

The trails are well marked and it's a nice, scenic hike through the woods. Even better, on a hot day, the trails are under a canopy providing ample shade. Just note that the trails are narrow and there's quite a bit of poison oak along them so use caution. Also note, the entrance on 25A is hidden but noticeable by the red Audubon Society House. A nice park for a nature walk and recommended.

Anybody looking to spend an afternoon on the water should seriously consider booking this place. Bring some food and drinks, and expect a great time!

(Side recommendation- we added on a few hours of a jet ski to our sail and it was worth it!). I 100% recommend. It was worth every penny and was a day we will never forget.

He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we felt comfortable being really annoying and weird in front of him. The sail itself was just a short ride in the bay, where we anchored close to a beach. We loved dancing on the boat, trying out the SUP board (included), basically chugging our BYOB drinks (no hard liquor allowed on board), taking pics lounging in the net, gawking at the yachts, and pretending the pool noodles were seahorses that we were riding. Bachelorette stuff! I think we had the Mon Mini boat, probably the smallest option. Included: one SUP board, bluetooth speaker, cooler, two pool noodles, the captain.
