Posted in Cedar point country park, is one of the best camping ground in New York, every visitor leaving there always got a good impression on it. This park is open to both local people or tourists. The price was $24 for non-residents and $14 for Suffolk County residents with the yearly $20 park reservation pass. This happens to be a county park on 607 acres. Beaches are the view on the north eastern side of the park. Four wheel drive access is allowed in some areas with a permit.
Beach is the finest part of the park. There are stretches of beach that are easily accessible by short walk from a small parking lot. Most beaches are also within a short walk from the sites but are a bit far when you have to carry gear.
Being the north shore of Long Island, actually the north shore of the southern fork of Long Island, the beaches are rocky with a sand base. Some kind of foot ware is needed both in and out of the water to be comfortable. The water is very clean and clear. There were snorkelers out in the water. The rocks though are slippery and hard to negotiate. Good shoes make it much easier getting around.
There are a number of fine picnic areas that can be reserved that would make for a fine day at the park. They are in very nicely spaced and attractive areas on small bluffs above the beach. They are situated nearby the main playground and a baseball and basketball field area.
If you’re worrying about gear don’t worry nearby rentals could provide it for you. On the beach are row boats and kayaks that may be rented. Most rentals are weekends only however, one weekday the booth was manned. It was a bit expensive at $20 for an hour out.
Have a nice holiday on cedar point country park.
