It's grown into a full fledged marina with a dock, boat slips and fuel station. For a novice in all things having to do with recreational fishing, I'm here for the outdoor deck and water views!! We enjoyed a reasonably priced lunch, good simple food and friendly service. Place your order at the window, go inside and grab your beer, soft drinks, even bottled wine and have a seat. The pager lets you know that it's time to eat! The Manhattan Clam Chowder filled with juicy pieces of clam and potatoes, was hearty. My simple BLT with perfectly done fries, hit the spot! The Honey said his fried cod tacos were equally satisfying. Veterans enjoy a percentage off their bill and those paying cash, avoid the three percent credit card fee. As other YELPERS have mentioned, we're told there's live music on the weekends. It seems a return trip before the summer is over is in our future. A visit should be on your agenda as well...... Thank me later.....

No dogs, keep the noise down and be courteous of the plantings. Cedar Beach has a much more pleasant vibe. There's a live band playing and you can bring a cooler with no hassle from the local police. We have a Brookhaven virtual summer pass and cedar beach is a town beach. There's a Veteran discount on the pass, high five Brookhaven! There's a reason why the next town is "Rocky Point". The beaches on the north shore are so rocky! The beaches on the south shore are powered sand, this is a south shore thing that I always like to point out. (My beach growing up was Smiths Point) The band is playing CCR, we're drinking cold beers and having a good time at Cedar Beach. The sun is setting and now we're getting up to dance? I like hanging out.

It is difficult to review Cedar Beach, because essentially it is reviewing the Long Island Sound,…read morewhich is vintage Long Island. This viewpoint is from the eyes of a person who's Dad is a Town of Brookhaven resident. The thing to take into account when reviewing Cedar Beach is that it is a Brookhaven Township amenity where admission is very reasonable for it's residents. On the contrary, for the residents residing outside of Brookhaven, their price to enjoy access to the Long Island Sound could seem to compete with Six Flags Great Adventure prices. The Town of Brookhaven, NY website displays the prices. Whether you are a Town of Brookhaven or non-resident the days of paying at the admission gate appear to be a memory. I'm not a fan of the parking meters because they can be an annoyance for Cedar Beach guests at the same time that they do not provide the safety measure that a controlled access gate does in maintaining a sense of safety.     Cedar Beach is one of a few Town of Brookhaven Long Island Sound beachfront parks. The other one that I am familiar with is West Meadow Beach. Cedar Beach is situated on a peninsula in a scenic location that starts off with a drive along bucolic and windy Pipe Stave Hollow Road that gives a nod to the East End with its bordering woodlands, estates on rolling forested hills, and the picturesque Mount Sinai Harbor that brings images of the Great Peconic Bay. A left turn onto Harbor Beach Road continues the drive on the peninsula where Mount Sinai Harbor with the boats are to the south and the beachfront, nature trail, concession stand, and amenities are to the north. One advantage of the meter system is that if you want to see the beach scape by vehicle, you can drive to the end of Harbor Beach Road without paying.    The peak season is from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is my understanding that they provide lifeguards during this busy season. However, it was off-season when I went with my Dad, a Brookhaven resident, to see Cedar Beach. Living in the Las Vegas desert, it just made sense to spend some time by the Long Island Sound when I visited my dad. Please keep in mind that I am no stranger to Cedar Beach. My memories go back to the early 1980s when I was a child that spent time with my dad at Cedar Beach. Not much has changed since President Regan was in office. Cedar Beach is still a very rocky North Shore Beach that is unstable for swimming in barefooted. However, one change that was administered over the years is that dogs are prohibited at Cedar Beach.    My Dad and I visited Cedar Beach in May. Before peak season the beach was very unpopulated. If my dad did not have a Brookhaven pass, the parking meters could care less that the parking lot was relatively empty. Waiting for us were several spaces overlooking a band of white sand fronting a large expanse of Long Island Sound water spread out towards Connecticut. Unlike West Meadow Beach, Cedar Beach provides a prime vista of a beach scape taking in the Connecticut shoreline. On a serene Long Island day the waves were very gentle. With so few people sharing this experience, this was a mellow way to spend some time with my dad. We did go for a short walk on the beach. Being a hiker, of I was alone and had sufficient time, I would of hiked west on the sand that would take me onto the nature trail that would ultimately lead me to the end of the peninsula at the Cedar Beach Fishing Pier Area where Harbor Beach Road ends at a water view overlooking Belle Terre.     I am a fan of Long Island Sound, I am a fan of Cedar Beach. Being that my Dad is a Brookhaven resident, I could see a return visit here when I spend time with my Dad on Long Island.

We joined last summer beginning of August. Training was very good. Had a few small issues last…read moreyear. We ran out of gas 30 minutes into our day, with our 2 daughter's aboard. They, in all fairness, didn't charge us for gas that day. This season is been much more disappointing. The availability problems are weekly. We can never get boats we are looking for, and have to settle for older boats, with the same exact things broken on them as last year. Seats broken, door locks broken. Windshield lock down not working. Etc. The biggest problem now, is the GAS BILL. We were assured by our salesman Lou last year that gas was charged by gallos used. And whatever the local pump station was charging per gallon. After receiving two very large gas bills in the beginning of this year, i asked the employees what was going on. I was told they now charge the highest price possible per gallon, plus they take a 60 cent per gallon surcharge on top of it. OUTRAGEOUS... I emailed our salesperson about this problem and got no response at all. I thought maybe I was mistaken, or there was some sort of explanation. Today we took another boat out of a different location and was told the exact same thing from an employee. I feel we were lied to over and over.. They will tell you whatever you need to hear, to have you sign their contract. Let the buyer beware.

I must say fishing with Ernest Fernandez fishing buddies of America was one of the best experiences…read moreI could have ever had. We caught fish after fish after fish. He made certain that we were fed always providing a box of Popeye chicken with biscuits giving us a bottle of water and soda and walking around the boat asking is everyone okay. Fishing buddies of America has seen a lot of members come and a lot of members go. I was very happy to be a part of a fishing trip that took place in North Carolina on a 24-hour fishing vessel where we caught lots of Vermilion snappers the size limit and the limit for two days as well as Grunt and triggerfish. It was my first experience and a great one. It's sad to say though in 2018 Mr Ernest Fernandez passed away. He does have friends of fishing buddies of America who are running their own charters as a matter of fact there is a trip on June 9th the boat is almost full will be a dedication to miss the earnest Fernandez will we will dedicate to the sea memories of mr. Fernandez. I think that is a great way to pay homage to him. We will also fish on this day in memory of mr. Fernandez for one of his favorite fish porgies. I can see the smile on this man face now catching two parties at one time. Nonetheless great man and a great time I had with him fishing with fishing buddies of America tightlines forever mr.

I usually wait 2 days for a box to arrive. But today, in the mood to go fishing and low on supplies, I remembered there was a bait and tackle place across from the pink pig in Miller Place. So off we went, not expecting much but pleasantly surprised. Walking through the front door, you could see that this store has a little bit of everything. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very friendly woman, I'm pretty sure she was the owner, who happily helped us navigate the store and after asking a few questions regarding what we were looking to catch and where we planned on fishing she picked out her suggestions and then gave us some space to shop without feeling pressured. She even checked the back for a lure that she said had been performing really well lately that seemed to be sold out on the sales floor. She found it and we bought it, along with several other items that we tried out down on the beach this evening. We will definitely be returning. It felt nice to support a local small business and I enjoyed hanging out in the store. There's a great vibe going on. They have pictures bordering the ceiling of locals with their catch. They said people come in after they've gone fishing to show them what they caught and have it weighed. That sounds like FUN. Maybe I'll do that, if I ever catch something BIG. Although, we usually fish more for sport and throw it back when we are done:) I'm loving this mom and pop!
