First, be prepared for high tide. Our beach towels and chairs were soaked around 12:30pm even though it was far behind waterline in the morning.
Other than our tidal happening, the beach is great. Very good quality sand quite environment. I like the idea of no amplified sound rule.
We used a concession at the field 6 and the food is good.

Wow,things are getting worse everytime you visit this place. More restaurants are closing down, and the envirement is getting so unsafe its not funny.You use to feel safe taking your baby for a walk down the street,but i would never do that now.The quality of these restaurants are terrible,and half of them cut down a side,so now its just your meat and one side dish for all the money your spending.From now on i will go to point lookout, its such a cute town, they have great restaurants,and you feel safe walking at all times of night.Lots of people in the town ride bikes instead of taking their cars because its such a small town.Maybe i will come to the mile for a drink and in certain areas only

We went there for a family outing today and we were surprised to find this wonderful gem. Although this museum appear small at first, it is not, There is a lot to see, aircraft exhibits, space exhibits,interactive exhibits, multiple floors of exhibits, a Fireman's Museum and a cafe. Today we visited the space exhibits. They have thing such as real LEM Moon Lander. space suits, rockets and much more. We also visited the airplane hanger where they a a A-6F Airplane, F-14 Tom Cat Airplane and a A-10 Warthog Airplane. There is so much to see that it will take you multiple days to explore it. There are multiple floors and a skywalk where you can see the exhibits from above the main floor. This is great place for children. There is a lot to see and learn. We will be returning.

You and your team get locked in a fully themed room. The clock starts as soon as you enter. You have 60 heart pounding minutes to solve the puzzles, find the clues, and get out. You need to think outside of the box and think fast. Can You Escape? Many will try, few will succeed.

We saw the movie "Coco" at AMC Roosevelt Field 8 on Christmas Day and it was a strange feeling seeing all the empty parking lots as the mall itself was closed. The movie theatre with its reserved stadium seating was very comfortable and is an excellent place to see a movie.

Love, love, love the Jones Beach Theatre! Just the views of the bay and the Beach are breathtaking! We saw the Moody Blues and sat in the last row up top. WOW-not a bad seat in the house! We love the water views - no other venue can offer these beach views! Plenty of parking and the state police are everywhere for your safety. Don't pass up a chance to see a concert here-just bring s sweater because it is the beach and the evenings do get chilly!!
