Residents only, and residents have to pay $60 for parking! Highly regulated parking in surrounding area with private signs everywhere and basically a big middle finger to outside people. Not tourist friendly so avoid if you are not from the area.

Great place to take young children. You have the bay on one side and access to the Sound on the other. You'd never think you're on Long Island when you look around at the surrounding landscape. You can see why Billy Joel fell in love with the area.

Hands down my favorite beach. It's so peaceful, clean, and quite. I do not mind taking the hour drive to come here. This beach is good for picnics, and fishing as well. I'm also amazed at all the marine creatures I find like little crabs that walks around. Last time I came, me and my cousins freaked out because we thought we saw a stingray. Come to find out, it was a dead horseshoes crab lol. We were kinda scared to get back in the water after that. Beware of the jellyfish problem though. They're EVERYWHERE.

Nice, calm and quiet place where you can come and relax away from everybody.

We went to the Town of Oysterbay dog park at Center Island Beach with our dog and she had a good time running around with the other dogs in the dog run. I just wish that there was a human bathroom closer to the dog park area instead of me having to leave my husband with the dog and me having to take a long walk from the gig park all the way down to where people park for the beach.

Great private beach!

We went to TASTE ON THE BEACH. Lots of food and liquor vendors , not to crowded , live music and had a beautiful day there . Nice north shore beach across from small strip mall that has an amusement area , some fine dining and other amenities . Fabulous view of Connecticut from this beach head .

Nice spot to hang with friends, family or love one.

Beautiful quiet north shore beach. Only gets crowded when there are local school football games at the field. No fees during the off season (Labor Day - Memorial Day).

Fun, great parking, clean bathrooms.a choice we of the Sound or Bay from same lot.

I love this quiet and chill little place
