I live near it now and can highly recommend a visit. I’m still surprised how many New Yorkers are unaware of this half of the Gateway area and the summer acces

  The trip down 36 can get brutal, but it’s a great bit of land all year round. Especially right up at the north end walking around the dunes. The inner beaches are beautiful and calm for young kids too. It’s a soft warm calm puddle in the summer, where the outer side gets rougher. The toddlers loved the inside and teens the outside. Taught my wife and one of the kids to drive down there too. Up at the end are really good, mostly empty roads and parking lots for beginner drivers to practice on.
