Jones Beach State Park is a state park located in southern Nassau County. The park is renowned for its two-mile long boardwalk, its great beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean and considered to be one of New York’s most popular summer recreational locations. Indeed, Jones Beach is the most popular, and most visited, beach on the East Coast. It is the perfect location for friends and families looking for a day of sunbathing, swimming, and relaxing. Amenities include public swimming pools, playgrounds, volleyball courts and more.

Right off Zach's Bay, where our beach area is located, you can find the Nikon Theater renowned for its 15,200 seats, and its outdoor amphitheater that host’s world famous musicians all summer long.

Residents and visitors in the New York area can take the LIRR to Freeport and then a bus to Jones Beach. For those coming by car, a $10 parking fee applies.

If you are there for the 4th of July be sure not to miss out of the fireworks show at night.
