Ponquogue Beach 280 Dune Road, Hampton Bays, NY 11946

"This is a nice beach with a decent-sized parking lot, clean bathhouse and a place to buy food and beach accessories (chairs, boogie boards, etc.) The lifeguards were very attentive and made sure that everyone was safe. The surf was very rough on the day I visited, yet swimming was still allowed, which I appreciated. Parking was $40/day for a non-resident."

"The beach is fine but the should take more attention to clean it because there are a lot garbage there"

"Simply beautiful. Clean white sand and nice waves. We went the weekend after Labor day and the water was perfect temperature for swimming. Family friendly and we even saw people walking dogs. Lifeguard not on duty the days we went. Changing rooms and bathrooms were clean and nice. There's a booth to pay for parking, but it was closed both weekend days we went, so free! I guess it stops at Labor Day."

"Clean white sand. Plenty parking area. $30/day parking. Clean bathrooms and changing rooms. Ladies room had about 4 changing rooms. 4 total Showers outside. Bathroom closes at 5pm. Lifeguards on site but they leave at 5pm. Long shoreline, beautiful. The day I went was sunny but windy so ocean was wavy. Watch the wind forecast. I recommend all beaches along that coastline. Minimum seaweeds on the shore. Clean shore."

"First time there, during the pandemic. At first I was really impressed The water was a little dirty but we enjoyed it anyway. The only problem I had is with the people who were sitting all over each other with absolutely NO SOCIAL DISTANCING! It’s extremely important during this time and unfortunately my bf and I had to move twice because people were all over our space. I mean, there are so many signs for keeping up with the social distancing, and still people don’t Follow it."
