    Did you know? Because of the strong southerly winds at this spot, the Army Corps of Engineers recently added more than 30,000 tons of sand to reduce erosion.

    The magic of this beach is lost in trash. Help maintain by carrying a small bag for broken glass and plastic bits.

    Dogs are not allowed off-leash on this beach. If you see off-leash dogs, you can call the U.S. Park Police at: 718-338-3988. https://www.nps.gov/gate/planyourvisit/pets.htm

    Unfriendly environment for homeless cats. And bikers. And pretty much anyone who is not a horseshoe crab or windsurfer.

    Stay away from the kites. Some liters are unprofessional and they may land kite on top of your head:)
