Some of Long Island's most visited beaches were also its cleanest, including Jones Beach, where measurements never reached potentially unsafe levels, and Robert Moses, where they did just once.
Jones Beach is 6.5 miles of clean sand covered with bodies. Its character differs depending on which 'field' you choose – for example, 2 is for the surfers and 6 is for families, and there's a gay beach way east – but it's a scene no matter where you spread your blanket.
Can I bring a bag or backpack into the Jones Beach Theater? Only clear plastic, PVC or vinyl tote bags are permitted, sized up to 12” x 12” x 6.” You can also take a small clutch bag, sized up to 6.5”x 4.5.” If you have larger bags you'll have to take them back to your vehicle.
Yes, but we are talking Stadium prices- 15 for a mixed drink and $12 for a big beer. Better to byob and get there early to the parking lot with plenty of red solo cups (park cops don't like to see cans or bottles) and listen to the tunes of the band you are about to see.
And the best is on week days for us 62 or older the parking is free, just show your drivers license. I have been coming here for over 65 years and there is not enough praises I can say for it.
Voted as one of the cleanest beaches near NYC, Long Beach is a pay-to-visit beach that definitely deserves a day of your time. Long Beach itself is known as the “City by the Sea” thanks to their combination of great oceanside activities as well as their gorgeous waterfront beach.
