Long Island Summer Beach Guide (2022)

There are dozens of beaches on Long Island to choose from on any given day.

They're the prize of Long Island, the sandy beaches that line the South Shore, or the rocky seaside that calls the calm waters of the Long Island Sound home.

Places such as Jones Beach, Robert Moses State Park, and any one of the dozens of Hamptons beaches attract visitors by the thousands, from locals enjoying one of the Island's biggest attractions to out-of-towners who come to catch a few waves at these world-class beaches.

But with all that splendor, how's a person to choose where to pitch their umbrellas in the sand.
