“Fish the Abundant Atlantic!”
Gilgo State Park is located on a barrier beach on the south shore of Long Island, with Atlantic Ocean and Great South Bay frontage. Access to the park is via 4 wheel drive only and requires a permit. The park is a carry in/ carry out facility. Spectacular views and tranquility make this a popular destination. The park is undeveloped. Anglers enjoy surf fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. Fishing is abundant in the fall during the stripe bass migration. Anglers may also catch blue fish and a variety of salt-water species.The park is also actively managed for the protection of the piping plover and sea beach amaranth. Stewards monitor the natural resources and provide education to visitors regarding habitat management. Swimming not permitted.
For someone who goes to this beach every day during the summer.. Swimming IS permitted, it is the same as any other beach, that's why they have lifeguards..
