BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Melville
Hindu temple
🫤 Honestly hate to write this review because I hate conflict but I believe something should be said so here I go. I went to this temple for the first time today. Really beautiful architecture overall. Went to the main darshan hall and sat for a few minutes as its customary. I was asked by an uncle to...

Overlook Beach
Beach pavillion
👍👍 Nice beach, but usually for Town of Babylon residents except on special occasions like the annual kite festival which was very nice. Small parking lot so it fills up quickly, get there early. Beach is only a couple of steps away from the parking lot which is great. The ocean is very close as well.

Seatuck National Wildlife Refuge
Wildlife refuge
👍👍 Really beautiful refuge. The trails are on the outskirts. Nice. The beach at the end is for the town but the environmental center on the other side of the road is worth checking out and has trails as well. Totally worth it.

Gardiner County Park
Park
👍👍 Today was my first visit to this park and I loved it. Took my dog and we walked all over the trails and made our way to the water and sat and just enjoyed the view. After a while we headed back and laid out on a blanket in the grass and enjoyed the day. The dog parks are huge and there is tons of ro...

Richard L. Brooks Memorial Park
Park
👍 Terrific drive along Ocean Parkway, passing all of the beaches heading east from the Loop Pkwy. 20 mile ride on a two lane beach road. The ride back on the bay side is equally peaceful. This is the former site of the Oak Beach Inn. Now a very small beach landing and a fishing pier. The beach...

Anthony Casamento Park
Park
😐 Nice place to go cool off if you don't have a pool of your own. Not too crowded. I brought my grandchildren to the kiddie pool side. I used to go here about 10 years ago by myself because it was kind of a hidden gem with lounge chairs provided. The only con was that the price went up substantially!

Hermann Griem Park
Park
👍👍 This is such a lovely park. We came around 9:30am and had the place to ourselves. Great playground for young kids and even older kids. If you're a parent who hates melting in the hot summer heat while your kids are playing, the playground area is tree covered with tons of shade.
The park is very qui...
