Point Lookout offers a short walk to the water and smaller crowds than the neighboring beaches, such as Jones Beach. Although the area is great for sunbathing, seaweed buildups tend to be worse in this area. We advise swimmers to walk further until the water gets clearer.

Visitors and residents of the Town of Hempstead should be aware that they must pay an admission fee to get in: $8 for residents of the Town of Hempstead, and $25 for non-residents.

If you are looking to visit some of Lido Beach's top attractions you can head to Lido Beach Golf Course, which offers an 18-hole regulation length golf course for those who are looking for a challenging golfing experience.
