If you’re an outdoors family person, this is a great state park to visit if you want to alternate between Jones Beach and Robert Moses, which aren’t that far. The parking fee is $8, but if you have a state pass, you know it’s free! There is kayaking, fishing, boating, restaurants, and the beach. I went to mainly fish by the pier, which had benches for people to sit and relax instead of just stand. I brought my own chairs just in case. There is absolutely no shade so I do recommend bringing a beach umbrella and rope to tie against something, or an upstanding umbrella. There is a no swimming sign all around the park, but I saw kids swimming. If children do not like fishing, there’s a sand park behind the fishing pier. Be warned, there’s poison ivy by the grassy area. You’ll see the signs. Next to the park, is where the fishing boat dock is. I didn’t take the boat out so I’m unsure of the pricing. The restroom is your average state park bathroom, the restaurant is around the area as well as the bait shop for fishermen. The other side of the pier has picnic tables and BBQ. Overall, it’s a nice park and a little remote compared to Jones Beach and Robert Moses. Not as much sand to play with at this park compared to the other two, but it’ll keep the little ones entertained for sure.

Another park with a good view of the sunset. There is a scenic outlook here that gives a good view of the fire island inlet. That parking lot is the right place to view the fire island lighthouse. Park is free to visit during the off-season, and I feel the best time to visit is winter spring and fall. I have seen people fly kites while park in nearly empty during the winter.

Great place for catching fish and enjoying nature . Many fishing charter boats to choose from . A pretty good restaurant is there as well . Plenty of parking

It's absolutely gorgeous, especially in the sunset. I saw a lot of people fishing so I guess that is a thing in the area. Also there was a restaurant with a live gig, big parking lot and a playground for kids. Came late September so overall experience is probably different than in the summer - but was intrigued enough to make it part of my summer list next year.

Great fishing from shore, pier or out on a charter boat. Nice restaurant with live music. Small bait and tackle shop. Beautiful state park. Bring the whole family.

I had a relaxing time by the water. Clearing my head and having my rushing thoughts washed away by the crashing waves of the ocean sound. I was paid a visit as I stood and enjoyed the view.

I loved it! MY FRIEND SUE and I were invited to see the Jones Beach fireworks on the 4th by her friend who is a first mate on 3 ships! She brought her family, and the nautical scenery was so beautiful, and cooling. The staff and passengers were very friendly and polite! It was a very memorable day and night for all of us!

A beautiful place for fishing, views, sunsets, photos and walking. Two great kayak launches and free boat launch (after paying $8 to enter the park ) Large and long piers to fish from or get on one of the many large party/charter boats! Nice snack bar, restaurant and bar. Also is the starting point or the endpoint of the 25 mile Ocean Parkway Greenway Trail!

So beautiful and relaxing! They have a playground which is safe and have a swings and is inclusive! Beautiful boats which have a set schedule for fishing and cruising.

Great playground steps away from the bay. If you like to fish or go crabbing this is the place to be. Parking lot is large and close by. Nice place for a sunset.

Went for a bike ride. The trail is excellent. Well marked, paved and clean.

Party Boat central - if you have to fish on a party boat or Head boat go on the FishFinder it is the best boat for fishing in the fleet. I have tried most of them and this is the only one I fish on. The fishing dock is long and a great place to relax for the day if you like soaking a crab pot.

Cycled from Jones Beach to the marina at Captree... nice ride and nice scenery, right at sunset... but chilly that evening but that's to be expected in November...

Looking good these days. Pretty clean, playground is great, and the docks are kept nice! I don't remember this place being this nice as a kid... Good job Captree!!

Grandkids entered the snaper derby. They had lots of fun but no fish caught. Better luck next year.

Captree State Park Beach dazzles with its scenic boardwalk, where seagulls soar and ducks glide across tranquil waters, creating a picturesque setting for leisurely strolls and nature watching. It's an idyllic haven for those seeking a peaceful beach day amidst the beauty of wildlife and waterfront views.

Captree is the place to be to grab a fishing charter, party boats leave daily usually twice a day. On Sunday mornings you can find me there at dawn for our weekly Cars and Coffee get together. Classic cars, hot rods and some rare stockers meet up and share our passion for all autos past and present. Come join us, weather permitting year round.

Wow! Saw a stunning sunset. Beautiful, unobstructed, calm nature. Feels like you’re on a getaway. Highly recommended for your next sunset outing! There are bathrooms as well!

One of the best places in long island for blue crabs. This place gets crowded during the evening. There is a fishing supply store, restrooms and a nice restaurant on site

Fishing and crabbing. Pier is huge and yet still gets crowded and full on warm summer nights. Nice to just hang out. Parking lot is enormous. You can get on a fishing boat tour and it also has a great paved biking trail.

Great state park for fishing. Only thing is I wish they will fix the fishing pier lights on the other pier so there two piers with lights. For night fishing.

Been coming here for almost a decade; I love this park! Love the atmosphere and the fishing. But please beware of the restaurant— extremely overpriced now after Covid.

Fishing trip with co-workers. We had a great time. Crew were very helpful and attractive.

We took the boat ride at 6pm. It was quiet and enjoyable! Even though we didn’t catch any fish still we all had a good time.

Nice 🏞️ park Biggest fleet 🚢 on long island you are going to catch 🪝 a keeper 🐠 🐟 for sure 🎣 there is a restaurant🍗🍔🍟 Bait 🪤 and takle A bar 🍺🍶 Little kids play ground Bring your family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 and have fun All day 🇺🇸

This place is a very nice area to visit because you can relax, walk around, enjoy seeing the water as boats drive by, a pier where you can walk to see where the water goes, and take breathe taking pictures of yourself, the sunset, and a playground for your kids to run around. Overall, the place is nice to visit, but go before dark, so u can feel the wind and everything since if u go during the day, it's very hot!

Go fishing half or full day. Or justfish off the pier. Playground for the kids. Stay on path as poison ivy is scattered about. Bait shop and concession available. Also a very relaxing area is the overlook just south of the main parking.

Beautiful state park on a marina with amazing sunset and live music

Loved the place..the time we went it was so serene and peaceful.

Great spot for crabbing but there's a ton of seaweed in the water. Crabs love hiding in the seaweed and there's even blue crab you can catch there. Not really a great place for fishing but definitely better than the Jones Beach area. Parking was not a problem since I went there in the afternoon. Still, it was rather busy with a lot of people coming for fishing/crabbing or dining in at the nearby restaurant.

Very nice for the first time going on a fishing trip.

Very nice little park with a very large Fishing Pier on this trip restaurant was an open but restrooms were they have a large parking area handicap parking a bait and tackle shop even when the shops are closed they have bait and ice and vending machines two fishing piers one on the inside one on the outside one is extremely large failing no I didn't notice if they still had a play area for kids but it's primarily for fishing and the fishing fleet is docked all along that the boats are in very good condition well-maintained captains are very friendly and knowledgeable and the deckhands are right there to help you.

Beautiful area. Had a great time fishing for fluke on the Captree Island Spirit. Staff is friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back
