Coming from LA, where beaches are almost always packed this was such a nice change of scenery. The relaxed atmosphere made it easy to just slow down and enjoy my walk .I also loved seeing so many people biking along the boardwalk it definitely inspired me to bring my bike next time it was a simple but memorable experience, and I'm already looking forward to going back.

My first (and hopefully not my last) time here at my friends invitation. Very easy to get to off the Loop Parkway and parking was free after 5:30. From my home in Mineola, it was less than a 30 minute drive. This is a great spot to sit back, relax and take in the beauty of the day. The park has basketball courts, a pool and a store for food supplies. This is definitely a relaxing place to bring your kids for the day. I totally understand families who rent the cabanas for the summer. So many people and kids all having a great time. The beach is not a far walk but I opted out of the water for the day. We came there on July 3rd to relax and watch the fireworks show from Town. My friends cabana is perfectly situated so we could sit back and easily watch the show. Very clean here... The staff is constantly cleaning the area and removing garbage (from the pails.) KUDOs to the team at Nickerson Beach.

The roaring, sleep- inducing waves, the hot sand, the swooping, singing birds, the cacophony of beach goers' voices all make for a perfect day. If I had a magic wand, I would have shuttle carts, if you will, that carry ,hourly , beach goers to and from the parking lot. The trek from the parking lot to the water can be brutal if ur carrying all your gear and wearing flip flops. Another reason why, once I'm settled into my spot, I don't move. The bathrooms, and concession stands are way off to the left of the beach. The summer is almost done so I'll be making at least one more visit to my beach before Labor Day.

At peak times and peak season, parking can be five or six rows back, but we've never had any real trouble parking. The lifeguards here are amiable and efficient. There are good restrooms and a snack bar. The beach is magnificent, with great opportunities to see bird life such as American Oyster Catchers and cormorants. Only problem some years is the seaweed, which can turn some parts of the beach into a soup. On the other hand, once you are on the beach, you can walk as far as you wish towards Long Beach, and set up your beach chairs anywhere. The Parks Dept. continues to improve this every year. This season they have added a large ramp from the restroom area to the beach, covering about half the distance to the water. Regular admission is ten dollars, so we make sure to go more than five times to get more than our money's worth.

If you go up and down the long way, you can get a nice 3.5 miles in on this baby with some hills. Throw in a weighted vest, and you're getting yourself a solid light workout. There are already so many reviews, so just some notes: 1) Make your way around the current dump (also a Nassau County gem, seriously) and drive slowly. 2) Parking is tricky at certain times of the day and on weekends. Make sure to come before 9:30 on beautiful days, or else you'll be parking far, far away. More steps, If you really want them I guess. 3) Wear your sunscreen! Skin cancer is no joke, and it's pretty bright up top with not a lot of coverage if you walk around to the lake. 4) Beware...No lights in the bathroom and really not the best place to use the loo. There however is a shopping center close by... 5) Look out of all sorts of critters from birds to bugs.. including ticks.
