If you seeking relaxation in an idyllic setting this is the place to go. Great for a relaxing walk or to sit and enjoy the scenery.Update today 7-30-22. Perfect summer day. Beautiful blue sky,light breeze and 82 degrees. Near high tide so water views were stunning.

A gem! Just what I needed to feel like I was escaping even though I was ten mins from home. My kids loved it.

What an incredible place to see some of the most Rare and interesting birds! Absolutely beautiful and serene. A true gem in our community.

The opportunity to walk through one of the few salt marshes left on Long Island makes the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area a must visit. The diversity of marine birds, including a pair of nesting ospreys is tremendous. I have seen dozens of different species, including an Osprey flying back to feed its fledglings with a whole flounder in its talons. The Study Area is particularly beautiful during the changing of the tides when the mud flats are exposed and bay is either filling or emptying its basin. The only downside is that the Study Area is not open Sundays and it's limited hours.

It's mostly a bird-watching area. The intention is to walk around as quietly as possible to maximize the amount of wildlife you can see 🐦, or otherwise spend some peaceful time listening to Nature, take out your tripod and telephoto lens, etc. That's different than going for a bicycle ride 🚲, which is a more active activity.
