I’m personally not a big beach fan but my family is. As far as beaches go this is one of the best. Not too crowded, easy paths over the dunes, and a lot of heads to rinse sand off. It’s also nice that, if you are so inclined and have a vehicle that can handle such a thing, you can drive your car right on to the beach.

I loved this beach. The morning sunrise is so beautiful and quiet. Any people I did run into were very friendly. If you like to hunt shells, there is about a million of them!!

Dunes are beautiful. Family environment great to bring dogs on leash. Handicap parking. If you have Handicap placard you do not have to pay to drive on the beach

Great place to drive onto beach if you have a Nassau county resident with you & 4x4 or AWD vehicle. Regardless, parking lot near beach is great as are the bathrooms & foot showers to knock off sand after your outing. Parking lot is short distance from beach.

Questions & Answers

Can you camp in a tent and have a camp fire as long as it's before may 1st?

Don’t try it anytime soon, we drove 4 hours after speaking to someone from the county about beach camping .. they told us absolutely as long as no open fires after sunset (October 24,2020) We packed, prepared and drove up there, and they wouldn’t even let us on the beach because of “Covid”. Now, the morning after, we come back to peters point after the attendant told us it would be open at 6 am to park and enjoy the beach.. here it is 6:19 am and there’s no attendant in sight.

Can horse trailers camp over night with a beach permit?

Heidi Schenauer | Jun 24, 2018
Dawn Reyna | Jun 25, 2018

I've seen campers parked in the parking lot over night. The cops down there are laid back for the most part. I've never been hassled by them and I've slept in my car when I've gotten there really early. The worst that will happen is they'll ask you to move but it they do, I'm sure they'll also tell you where you can park. I don't think they'll even bother with you though.

Crystal Davis | Jun 24, 2018
Vera Christiansen | Jun 25, 2018

Always have a leash. Keeping your dog & your family safe from other animals should be your priority. Go down to American beach it's less crowded. If you're the only one there you have more leeway. Then if someone else comes you have tje leash to put on your dog.
