Cedar Beach Nature Center

"Very nice beach if you're in the area. On the weekends the beach venue Tiki Joe's have a live local band and they are often very good. We were visiting a friend near here and we went to walk the beach and listen to the music and hangout. Very comforting to the soul when you've been land locked for so long and having lived near a beach your whole life!"

"Nicole was an excellent instructor. The information in her lesson will forever be memorable. The touch tanks and seineing the harbor were so much fun. Definitely hands-on -learning. I highly recommend taking a class with Nicole or just visiting the Nature Center. There is so much information about our harbor, beaches and marine life."

"Beautiful path in cedar beach! I went mid morning and there were wild deer running with babies! You can’t beat it! The path has nice benches and leads out to the pier. Great way to start the day!"

"Wonderful hidden gem at Cedar Beach! Whether you are already at the beach and just need a little break from lying in the sun, or whether you're not much of a beach-goer but enjoy being near the water and/or going for walks, this place is for you! A paved walkway through assorted beach foliage keeps you away from the cars and out of the sand while you enjoy a lovely walk as well as the sunset (or sunrise)! Signs are posted along the way educating you about the different plants and animals that live in the area and if you just want to stop and enjoy the view, there are plenty of benches on your route. On our recent visit we saw assorted birds, rabbits, a family of deer, and even a turtle! Often there will be people flying kites or playing Frisbee on the beach. There is even a painted rock section where you are encouraged to take a rock with you and leave it in another public location for others to find - or of course, leave your own painted rock! (See "Suffolk County ROCKS © - Long Island Official page" on Facebook for more info!) Been coming here for years. Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful scenic walking path along north shore's Cedar Beach. Must have a Town of Brookhaven parking permit from 8am-530pm, but past that they usually don't check. Be VERY ALERT of POISON IVY along the walking path."
