If you're from Long Island or just cruisin’ through, there’s one place you absolutely can't skip—and that’s Jones Beach State Park. This ain’t your average beach day—it’s a full-on coastal experience that delivers everything from soft sandy shores to live concerts and even a freaking nature center. Nestled along the Atlantic Ocean and only a short drive from almost anywhere in Nassau County, this legendary spot has been the go-to getaway for locals and out-of-towners since 1929. Yep, we’re talking 6.5 miles of beachfront paradise and enough boardwalk energy to make you forget about city stress real quick.
