Robert Moses State Park - Long Island

First of all, the drive to this place is awesome! You have to cross many bridges and the route is very scenic. We paid $10 for the parking (Field 5) and there is ample space even during weekends.
There is a boardwalk from the main beach to the Fire Island lighthouse. The lighthouse closes by 3:30pm but the views outside are really beautiful too. The beach opposite the lighthouse is less crowded but equally good and has great waves.
There is an amazing restaurant at this beach that serves drinks, food and ice cream, with several options to choose from. Restrooms and shower areas are right beside this restaurant.
There is also a paid pedi cab service, located at the parking lot to take you to Kismet. It is not very easy to cycle near this beach as cycles aren't allowed on the boardwalk and the other paths are too gravelly.
Overall, we loved this beach! It is perfect for a relaxing afternoon on a hot summer day.

Great park and beach, always can see Deers and birds. Playground is nice. Restrooms always clean. During the summer this is my favorite beach, during the winter love for nature

The Ocean was simply breathtaking! It was drizzling outside so we had it to ourselves! I was born close to this ocean so it's definitely one of my favorite places! These are pictures from Field 2! There is no charge in the winter months, so a great time to have a personal private experience!

A very serene and tranquil beach. It’s very clean, not as crowded as other Long Island beaches. There is ample parking with clean restrooms and concession stands. Great for walks or just spend the day in water or sunbathing. You can walk all the way to the Light House at Fire Island and beyond walking on this beach. We love walking here.

It's just so calming and serene. Fishing or on the beach with my family. It's clean which is most important and there's nothing like open ocean as opposed to the sound

We always have a great time and it’s one our favorite LI state park/beaches. We went to Democratic Point. Be aware that at times there are a lot of flies and they will bite. Unfortunately this day we took the RV & we had to leave due the large amount of flies biting us.

Robert Moses field 4 is our favorite field. The beach is clean, beautiful, has accommodations and plenty of awesome lifeguards watching over! It is definitely the Field to check out! Whether you swim, sunbathe or just read a book, you will enjoy your day at the beach. Long islands very own gem!

Great beach with plenty of space for all.
You can either be up close to the waves or hang back by the dunes and enjoy the best beach on Long Island. They have facilities, and up at the concession, you can grab a cold drink!

One of the cleanest beaches in the United States. I have visited so many beaches in the United States, but didn’t find that many clean beaches except Virginia Beach, and this particular beach. Due to Canadian wildfire we got less people over there and we enjoyed the beach very early in the morning. We collect some dead shell as a token. overall kids enjoyed it a lot.

We spend the whole day here barbecuing and having some fun. Although it is late summer, the water is a bit cold. Some of the sections are surfing and swimming friendly as others don’t have life guard, so make sure you chose the right section to go to. Pets are not allowed. The beach is NOT CROWDED at all.

The sun set is gorgeous.

I am very grateful to my boss for organizing such a wonderful day at the beach in the picnic area. We . Bring your food and blankets because it was a little cold until we started playing and dancing.

Spent an Amazing Sunday at the beach. Was bit crowded but there were spots to settle comfortably. Beautiful beach for spending hours in the water, safe for families and kids can learn to surf. Very attentive lifeguards. Clean showers and changing rooms. Drinks, food and ice cream available.Overall very happy with the beach, location condition and facilities. Cleaning staff is working hard to keep the place clean and I request everyone to help them as much as you can by putting your garbage in the places provided.

Great beach! Very clean and can get busy pretty fast..There are a few different entry points, but we ended up going to Entrance 5. (Also note that when looking up the best entry point, a lot of people said Entrance 5). To enter the beach, its $10/day -- but I believe there is also a seasonal(?) pass you can purchase if you plan to visit very often.

Pros:
-Clean and well-maintained beach
-Clean bathrooms with many stalls
-Food/drinks available (entrance 5)
-Not too crowded

Cons:
-Likely to get busier as the days get hotter and water gets warmer

When entering this beach, we noticed this one has a restaurant/bar/cafe where you can get food and drinks which is awesome! Not sure if the other beaches have this…Bathrooms are also pretty large and there are 10+ stalls.

Although the area where you first enter the beach is a bit crowded, as you walk a bit further down the beach, it clears up pretty quickly. Everyone was pretty good about social distancing and it did NOT feel too claustrophobic.
Currently, the water is too cold to swim (unless you’re brave) but the beach was very clean and well-maintained.

Excited to return many more times this summer!

Great place to relax and enjoy the beach. Water is clean and warm from mid July to August.

Nice beach, beautiful view, soft white sand, small wave so many people can swim in the shore or sun bathing or hang out at the beach. You can walk to the Lighthouse not far from the beach. (Video credit to Sariati Dipetto).

Amazing...clean and laid back. The beach goers are nice. Almost has that when you used to go to the park as a child and made friends vibe. Spoke to some people. Family friendly and calm atmosphere. Lifeguards are attentive. Small incident that could have turned ugly (one family wasn't monitoring child in water). Don't underestimate the ocean and the waves at this one. Spent all day here from a.m. and left at 7p.m. when getting caught in a storm that came out of nowhere..lol. Nice drive in. Will return before summers end and so far this beauty is my favorite... and all in NY!

Absolutely gorgeous beach it is not restricted to residents anyone can come here and the fee is cheaper than other beaches in the area it's only $10. The sand is pristine unlike some other beaches it's not full of rocky pebbles and other debris. The waves on this beach are a little stronger than other beaches so something to keep in mind if you're bringing small children but it's a great place to come have a lot of fun and enjoy a sunny day.

Love this beach. The waves were really bad that day though we watch life guards make several rescues including pulling someone out by rope. Took 4+ life guards to reach him and they kept getting pushed back by the waves. It was something to see.

An awesome family experience that sits perfectly on the Atlantic Ocean. Any of the beaches (or fields) are perfect for laying out and enjoying all the beachfront you can imagine. The beach itself is very well maintained and clean, there are staff and lifeguard visible to help with any issues that might arise. There are even vendors that tour the beaches with ice cream and other cool snacks. Some fields are complete with giftshops and concessions. This is a great way to spend a day and to get away from the business of Long Island.
