3/5 Digital H. 3 years ago on Google
I
spent
a
day
at
the
park
on
Labor
Day
2020.
It
is
a
large
park
managed
by
the
National
Park
Services.
It
is
modestly
maintained
and
has
the
appearance
of
decline.
The
last
time
I
visited
this
park
was
a
few
years
ago.
The
parking
was
adequate,
with
a
reasonable
fee
of
$10.
The
beach
was
very
crowded,
with
many
people
not
observing
social
distancing.
I
also
watched
several
people
going
inside
the
men's
room,
not
wearing
masks.
The
park
has
a
large
picnic
area,
but
it
is,
in
my
opinion,
a
little
far
from
the
beach
and
does
not
have
sufficient
picnic
tables
or
covered
zones
to
protect
from
rain
or
harsh
sun
lights.
There
were
no
garbage
containers
on
the
beach.
A
few
garbage
receptacles
were
on
the
boardwalk,
but
most
of
them
were
overfilled.
The
beach
water
was
filthy.
It
has
lots
of
debris
and
seaweeds
floating
everywhere.
There
are
some
playgrounds
but
were
not
sure
if
they
were
open
to
the
public
at
the
time
of
my
visit.
Thee
were
several
vendors
on
the
beach
selling
"Icee"
ice
cream
and
others
offering
liquors.
None
of
the
vendors
displayed
a
vendor
license
and
there
were
no
apparent
enforcement
effort
to
check
them
out.
If
you
are
looking
for
a
better
experience
at
the
beach,
I
recommend
Jones
Beach
or
Coney
Island.
