Gilgo Beach

Reviewed By laurabF3899KO - Levittown, United States

I am a life long Long Islander and have been to about every beach on this island. Gilgo Beach is the absolute best, hands down. Drive in or dock your boat. Clean water and white sand, lifeguards at close intervals that are very helpful and will personally advise you of rip tides and strong undertows throughout the day, which is a plus for those of us with young kids. PERFECT BOOGIE BOARDING AND SURFING BEACH! There is a cabana for beach necessities and to rent umbrellas, boogie boards, surf boards, and chairs as well as purchase souvenirs. The shells on Gilgo Beach are different from any of the surrounding beaches... tiny white & pink perfectly shaped and and work beautifully for crafting! There are plenty of trash receptacles to keep the sand free of refuse. Warm water showers for rinsing off the salt and sand before you get in the car or boat. There is a snack shop with made to order burgers, dogs, chicken, fries, snacks & ice cream as well as a full bar for the adults. Non resident parking is a little expensive at $30 per day, but free before 8 am and after 4 pm. Honestly, it’s worth every penny, as this hidden jewel is not to be missed.

Took my two grandsons (7 and 10) and they had a wonderful time. The boat is clean, and the crew is terrific - friendly, helpful and very patient. My younger grandson who does have some issues with sea sickness had no problem at all. We caught fluke, but unfortunately no keepers. We had a great time.
