Factor seclusion into the mix at these surf-and-sand getaways
Orient Beach State Park
Long Island, New York’s amazing beaches are no secret, but there are still a few places for beach-goers to 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. Head out for a family-friendly guided hike of the thick forest and marshes that border the beach and keep an eye out for the resident ospreys. Bike and kayak rentals are also available to help you explore on your own.
