Along the walking and bike path there is a natural spring you can drink from. Rocky beach that is gorgeous and clean. When swimming you can continue to walk out into the water for a long time because the sand deepens very gradually. At low tide there are excellent sand bars. There is a good amount of wildlife including, horseshoe crabs, seagulls that hunt and drop crabs from the sky, egrets, deer, turtles, and fish. The beach is mainly for residents of Stony Brook, but they recently added paid parking for non-residents. The creek behind the beach is marvelously gorgeous and across the street from the entrance of this beach is Old Field Farm (a historic equestrian stable and competition grounds with events in the summer).
