9 Beaches On Long Island To Check Out Before Summer Ends
Discover Long Island

Before summer comes to a close, there is still plenty of nice weather in the forecast and plenty of beaches to visit on Long Island. While everyone’s go-to may be Jones Beach or Robert Moses State Park, there are tons of other beaches to spend the day at that won’t disappoint.

1. Long Beach

Long Beach has a 2.2 mile-long boardwalk; perfect for renting or bringing bikes, or just taking a stroll. After spending the day there, you can go to Diner By the Sea, the diner with the colorful milkshakes that populate your Instagram every summer.

2. Nickerson Beach

Other than the beautiful beach, itself, Nickerson Beach has a skate park, pools, mini golf and cabanas for beach-goers to enjoy.

3. Main Beach

Main Beach in East Hampton has perfect white sand, is the best spot to find celebrities and often makes the list of best beaches in America.

4. Coopers Beach

Coopers Beach in Southampton was actually voted as the best beach in America in 2010, according to “Dr. Beach’s.”

5. Fire Island

All beaches in Fire Island are ideal for people who like the party scene and warm water. The best part of spending the day at Fire Island may not even be the beach itself; the ferry, boardwalk and lighthouse are exciting for those who have never visited.

6. Montauk

Beaches in Mountauk, such as Hither Hills State Park, are great to spend the day at after taking the drive all the way out east.

7. Point Lookout

Town Park at Point Lookout may not have as many additional things to do as the other beaches on the list, but it’s the perfect place to just relax for the day.

8. Tobay Beach

Tobay Beach, though expensive for non-residents, offers a clean beach, a water park for kids and great food.

9. Shelter Island

Shelter Island made Travel and Leisure magazine’s list of best laid-back beach towns in the Northeast. Shelter Island, located between both forks, offers great beaches, beautiful scenery and “rustic charm”, according to the magazine.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
