There are many beaches in the United States and even though people don't automatically think of beaches when they think of New York State, there are also quite a few in New York, too. The state's ocean beaches are all on Long Island and it's surprising to some how diverse they can be. North shore beaches differ immensely from south shore beaches, and the beaches on the eastern end of the island are very different from those on the western end. As a result, New Yorkers can enjoy a wide variety of different types of beaches within their home state.
However, most beaches do have a lot in common with one another. Things like sand, blue skies, and waves are things people seek out at every beach. But, some beaches are very different from the others and are very unique indeed. There are some that are just one-of-a-kind. The most unique beach on Long Island just happens to also be the most beautiful. Read on to learn more about the beach at Wildwood State Park on the north shore of Long Island in Suffolk County.
There's a beach out in Suffolk County that doesn't look like it's in New York at all.
In fact, it appears to be lost. This beach is clearly supposed to be in the Caribbean, but somehow it ended up on Long Island.
Besides tropical-looking blue waters, this beach has incredible sand dunes.
Some also think that it looks like the coast of northern California or Oregon.
It sure doesn't look like Long Island.
There are boulders at this beach for you to climb on and explore.
And there are also pebbles of many colors for you to sort through.
The sunsets here are gorgeous.
An afternoon basking in the sun on the beach here is heaven on earth.
