If you can keep driving and find the more secluded spots, it's a great beach!Otherwise, it can be very crowded and not worth the trip, for me, anyway.Beautiful stretch of beach if you don't mind huge crowds... Keep driving and you will find the better spots!

Jones Beach is one of the best destinations on Long Island. No matter what the season, there is always something to enjoy here. It is one of the nicest stretches of beachfront in the world. Just walk the boardwalk and take in the frsh ocean air and you will see what I mean. A great place for families or couples to stretch out and enjoy the sand and ocean views. try it. You'll like it. I guarantee.

If you are visiting long island allow me to describe Jones beach. long island is one of the few places on the eastern seaboard to keep the coastline from becoming commercial. From the west end of Jones Beach to the east end you have miles of undeveloped beaches. Multiple parking lots provide ample parking for beach access. unfortunately the do charge a fee but you will have access to pristine sandy beaches that have a lot of beach front. These are huge beached. Choose parking lot 6 for a boardwalk and concession stands. The price is crowds so pick a different lot for less crowds.

A well known state park that offers over 30 miles of clean accessible ocean beach front. Although they have a nice boardwalk that connects the East, Central and West bath houses, it has resisted installing the usual shops, restaurants and tourist traps normally found at other boardwalk locations. They offer limited fast food service at each bath house location but the bulk of the park is in its natural state. The park does offer board games during the summer including shuffle board and paddle ball. The beach area borders the Atlantic Ocean and the surf can be rough at times and caution is recommended when entering the water. During the summer season, life guards are on duty at all beaches. A very pleasant and well maintained state park frequented by many during the summer season. Highly recommended if you're looking for a relaxing day at the beach, but be sure to arrive early during the summer season.

This park remains to be much of what Robert Moses created in 1929; a getaway for any and everyone. And, it sure can get packed with people and trash! But, still, it is a beautiful expanse of Atlantic Ocean real estate, with a boardwalk repaired after the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, a small band shell for night time concerts and theme night dancing, a nature preserve, and concession stands that will satisfy both young and older stomachs and history-buffs.

Jones Beach on holidays is a blast. Not big crowds, but lots of family fun. There's nothing like a walk on the beach when the breeze is brisk.

Didn't actually go in the water since it was pretty windy and a little cool out. It was fun sitting on the beach in the sun and people watching. Parking was easy to find as well. Would come back in the future.

The beach is iconic and the boardwalk has plenty of activities for all. One of the best events in the spring is the air show with the Blue Angels and penny of vintage planes. Exciting and well worth going. Summer weekends can get crowded but still worth the trip.

The park was clean and in good condition, there is plenty to do and see besides the beach. The boardwalk was nice for an evening stroll. Aside from the apathetic attitude of the clerk at the lost and found window the rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful.

I live in California, so I've been to plenty of beaches. This is the first I've visited in New York. Very nice beach, with good facilities, scenic and well-maintained. I came late in the afternoon, so it was fairly quiet, but enjoyed exploring the area. It looks like there is plenty of beach area to enjoy. Lots of sand and plenty of places to explore.

Love this beach. Don't miss it, even if you just for go lunch and the view. A must see if you're on Long Island.
