What I also ponder is how I'm the first to review this spot. C'mon people, Field 2 is fine! Okay, I know it's not Field 4 at the hoppin' heart of JB. Yeah, it's not Field 6 either with its super close parking to the beach and non-radio signage (for those quieter beach days). But Field 2 still has it goin' on. They have their own little building with some food and drink (and beach shop). Their parking is just like Field 6, pulling right up to the cusp of the sand (and not having to walk half a mile from the lot like at 4). Oh and that umbrella line even helps to get you a little closer to the water (if you don't have one) without any obstructions. There's a lot to like here. Maybe the biggest downer would be the walk. It's wonderful Jones Beach has those mats down in the sand to make the stroll to the beach easier, but Field 2 feels like a trek, an expedition, a fourth installment of The Lord Of The Rings as Frodo journeyed through Middle Earth. Okay, maybe not that bad, and from start to finish, still shorter than Field 4's total steps, but it's easy to understand why some people just park themselves way back in the sand. If you're not in good walking condition, consider getting up early and going to 6. Besides this, and perhaps the bathrooms that leave something to be desired, Field 2 is on par with the rest of Jones Beach. Overall, like I just said, Field 2 is a quality beach spot for your summer needs. It's got quite a walk to the shoreline, but once there, you get everything you want from any other beach on Long Island. Go at an off time and you might even feel like you're on some (mostly) private beach getaway. Give it a shot before the warm weather ends. And hey, you might even see Field 2's Yelp Duke there.

Nassau County is SOOOO STRICT about being a resident to enjoy their rec. facilities during "prime time," but after hours/off season, come one/come all (well, sort of...) Beautiful beach, LOTS of space, MUCH less built up than its neighbor to the west (Long Beach) and added bonus the awesome, unique, "space age" picnic pods!! On a beautiful Saturday evening, we had the beach almost to ourselves at about 6/7pm. Walked a few shoreline miles in each direction and wondered how I was EVER going to return to "landlocked" Ohioooooo a few days later!! Questionable "exclusivity" aside (I think the OCEAN belongs to EVERYONE) this is a beautiful place!! ENJOY!!

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.

You can rent beach umbrellas and chairs, which is super convenient. The rental stand only takes cash. We rented one umbrella and one chair and it was $45. The beach is very clean, with fine grain sand. They have green flags posted, which indicate designated areas where you can swim. Lifeguards are on duty. There are seagulls and other birds that hang around, but they won't bother you, even if you're eating. They will eat food that's left unattended and out in the open. Police rovers patrol the beach so I think rowdiness is discouraged. One party next to us was playing music on a speaker, but otherwise it was fairly quiet, except for the crashing waves of course. Lots of free nearby parking, but I imagine it fills up quickly on busy days.
