Orient Beach State Park

The Orient Beach State Park has much more to offer than its beach. The beach area is nice although pebbly like many of the beaches on the North Fork and there are life guards who looked insanely bored since there was no one really on the beach when we arrived. The wetlands are really spectacular and you can get some great bird watching in of you bring binoculars or a telephoto lens. The osprey nest on the platform they set up is great and they were definitely at the nest when we drive by. You pay a per car fee at the gate. Definitely worth a visit if you're going to go to the point as well.

Beautiful park to visit to walk and to have a nice time with family and friends, if you like to collect sea shelling you are going to fall in love with this place, the park usually close at 6pm if you are considering coming to the park come early because the parking is small. If you come to the park respect the wildlife and don’t liter so we all can enjoy the park. Beautiful park.

Been with kids. Next to the playground. Lots of rocks and shells. Kids had so much fun. Sunset is beautiful.
Beautiful plsce with a beach, forest of scrub pines. Kayak rentals and a concession. Tons of grills and picnic areas. Very clean and well maintained. Could easily spend the day there.

Gorgeous, secluded area in Orient. Beautiful sunsets. Calm waters, perfect for small children. Shore is very rocky, water shoes a must. Picnic tables, grills, bathrooms nearby, plenty of parking. Bring mosquito spray. Awesome place to spend with family and friends.

Totally worth the drive out there. I was lucky enough to see deer rutting and heard bucks locking horns. The trail system isn't huge but it's still a very relaxing spot to sit by the water. I went in the off-season, mind you but it's a great recreational resource.

Beautiful clean park, lots of picnic tables and trees for shade, kayak & SUP rentals available by Eagle's Neck on the bay calmer side, basic concession stand, clean showers. Loved biking the 2 mile causeway with water views on both sides.

Very beautiful and not over crowded. There is barbecue area and kids has play ground. The best spot for family fun and picnic 😇. Mask is required for enter the park. If you plan to go then go to early. Because when parking lot full park authority don’t want let you in.
However I like this park very much.

A beautiful park in a great location. We couldn’t help but stop and stare at the abundance of lichens all over the trees! Can’t wait to come back in the summer.

Beautiful Park with a beach, unique marine forest of scrub pines. Kayak rentals and a concession. Tons of grills and picnic areas. Could easily spend the day.

Absolutely beautiful place and well maintained facilities. A gorgeous drive in and out. Bathrooms, showers etc. available at the end as well as a lot of playground equipment. Wish I could've taken more pictures but I was the driver so you get what you get. We came in November, it was beautifully overcast but it gets dark shortly after 4pm so keep that in mind.

Well maintained ! Good number of spots for barbecue ! Place for Family/friends picnic..there is a kids playing area! Love the swings..Fantastic scenery :) Do not miss the two beautiful Lighthouses ! Also the gift shop has beautiful and useful souvenirs:)

Quiet and full of trails and coast line to walk. Beach is usually pretty quiet and the lot can fill up fast due to the partial capacity. Great beach to find shells on too! Kayak rentals behind bath house are a hidden gem.

Beautiful drive out East to see Orient Point beach which is a beautiful beach. There is a gift shop, bathrooms, lots of BBQs to cook out on, and a nice walking trail and bike trail. And a small playground for the kids! Right near the Orient Ferry to Connecticut!

This is our favorite beach in NY.Facilities are clean and well maintained.Not so crowded.Picnic/bbq area is very near the beach.If you have little kids,be sure to come early so you can secure a picnic spot near the playground.Beautiful sunset too!

Very nice well-maintained park. Small stone and pebble beach. Nice beach to walk, the day we went we got eaten alive with horseflys so bring bug spray.

The End of Long Island's North Fork and a great place to see Ospreys

An idyllic location, beautiful views, swings on the sands, family oriented, worth more trips, great staff. Need sturdy beach shoes for the pebbles.

For planespotters, this is an amazing place. Best place I have ever been to for planespotting.
For bikers, they have an asphalt biking path, and a mat from the path to the beach.

What a lovely area, nice drive to get out there, has a park area and picnic area, public restrooms with showers. Trails, birds, turtles, beach walking is good. It's not a fluffy sandy beach. Well worth the drive.

If you love rocks and shells this beach is great it is not soft sand.
