Living in Long Island has it’s perks, we are surrounded by beautiful beaches, NYC is only a short train ride away. Then there are the downsides, traffic, people being rude (Yes it’s really true), and super high prices.

One of the biggest perks I did not discover until recently

Jones Beach:

Jones Beach is really popular out here, they have a giant concert theater, golfing, swimming pools, beautiful beaches and more.

We live on the North Shore and usually just go to the beaches on the Long Island Sound. The water is calm and I don’t need to worry to much about the kids splashing around. The downside is the beaches are really really rocky.

We have only been to the South Shore once and it scared me, so we never went back. The waves were so big they almost swept my children away even just sitting on the beach in the water.

We decided to give it another shot but this time at Jones Beach. I read online that they have a bay, that is family friendly. No big waves etc.

I can’t believe I waited this long. LOL! It was so beautiful and the water was calmer than here on the North Shore.
The kids were even excited as they saw tons of little fish swimming around in the water. Plus the water was so clear.
