Nearest beach from New York to Long island, which is only six 1/2 miles or about an hour from there. When you’re looking for beach, boardwalk, nature preserves, golf, playgrounds and ample parking fields, then the answer is Jonas Beach State Park. The park comprises 2,413 acres, 6-1/2 miles of ocean beach frontage, with a 1/2 mile of frontage developed for still water bathing.
The park was created during the administration of Robert Moses as President of the Long Island State Park Commission (for which he wrote the legislation in 1923) as part of the development of parkways on Long Island. Built in the 1920s, many of its buildings and facilities feature Art Deco architecture.
Jones Beach is accessible by car, boat, bicycle, and in the summer season by bus. Most visitors arrive by car via the Meadowbrook State Parkway or the Wantagh State Parkway.
Nearby the beach or about half mile from north beach, there is Jones Beach Theater. This outdoor theatre opened in 1952 and lots of numerous world famous musicians perform their stage in here during the summer months. It is directly across the street from the ocean and is outdoors in an open natural environment.
You could also found a ridding experience on bike while you’re in there, for some folks walking are boring thing to do, try riding on a bike. Have fun.
