Find some family fun in the sun this summer
Orient Beach State Park
Long Island, New York’s amazing beaches are no secret, but there are still a few places a family can get away from the crowds and spread out their blankets in the sand. Delightfully desolate Orient Beach State Park, on the tip of the island’s North Fork, has a 300-foot sandy stretch and plenty of amenities like a playground, picnic area, and barbecue grills. If their skin needs a break from the sun, take the kids on a guided hike of the thick forest and marshes that border the beach and tell them to keep an eye out for the resident ospreys. Adventurous families who arrive without wheels needn't worry, as bike and kayak rentals are available to help you explore on your own.
