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.

Massapequa Preserve
Hiking area
👍👍 A great way to spend a few hours walking amidst nature yet not have to worry about tripping - 6.3 miles “there and back” from the parking lot at Mansfield Park over to Massapequa Lake and back. Hardly any elevation - great for a long stroll with the creek giving you company for most of 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...
