The trails are well marked and it's a nice, scenic hike through the woods. Even better, on a hot day, the trails are under a canopy providing ample shade. Just note that the trails are narrow and there's quite a bit of poison oak along them so use caution. Also note, the entrance on 25A is hidden but noticeable by the red Audubon Society House. A nice park for a nature walk and recommended.

My friend, a yoga goddess, called this place magical. Maidstone Beach is an out of the way bay…read morebeach with its own little cove, secret nooks and crannies, a very long jetty that kids love to climb. There is something perfect about Maidstone, so visually sweet and grand at the same time. I love to take pictures there. During the summer season, you will find it crowded with tourists that have been coming out with their families since their families brought them as children. If they didn't park their SUVs on the beach, we wouldn't hate them so. Why magical? Let me count the ways... There's the perfect swimming conditions for small children because the water is calm, yet the boulders of the extremely long jetty are perfect for the active kids. A local fisherman's utopia, where flounder and snapper abound. A favorite spot for kayaking, boating or stand-up-paddleboarding, it even has a covered pavilion where you can have a bonefide party (reserve with the town first!). It has lots of picnic tables, barbecues and seating with a restroom near by, plus a view of the bay down one of the sandy paths. It's white and loamy, with lots of dunes. Be careful though with dogs in the dunes because the deer bring with them ticks, so check them often. The serene waters are filled with lots of crayfish for kids to keep occupied. If you have a dog, like I do, they love to cool down in the Maidstone tranquil waters. That's where I got my cockapoo to swim the first time, now I can't get her out. It's also a fantastic place to jog, as it is surrounded by an exactly one mile road that loops. But most of all, it's the summer sunsets. My son and I run there around 7 pm every day after dinner to catch the golden blasts that echo on the water's surface. It's a visual masterpiece, but you need to be nearer to the jetty to get the full effect. By then, we're usually the only two on the beach and we both realize just how lucky we are to be so close to heaven.

The kids that run this place really need to stop lounging around all day and clean the bathroom once in awhile. Other than that it's pretty good.

Once again, it seems that an earlier review has disappeared. Weird…read more This is a Village beach, for residents only. We used to get photo IDs and permits every summer, because we would stay for 5-6 weeks at my parents' house. There were wonderful cheeseburgers and fries, and the shower/bathroom facilities are quite nice and clean. Apparently Schmidt's is running the concession this summer, and it's very popular. My brother and his family have permits, but I can't get one because I don't live in the village. However, after 5 pm, the lifeguards are gone, and the concession is closed. Great place for picnics! Really a beautiful beach. And the closest one to me. The picnics after 5 are a summer tradition, although the deck is sometimes taken over by weddings or yoga classes. But the beach is open.

Nearly all of the park is dirty and rock road, not very smooth. Signs are posted that a park decal is required but I decided that was a rule I could bend since I wasn't sticking around. Down the road and out to the end, I found a nice parking area (not smooth and ouchies on my car). Despite the chill and the howling wind, I was able to get quite close to the lighthouse and enjoy the view of Plum Gut. This is the very tip of the northern fork at the very end of Long Island. There are no amenities here. It's a beach park without toilets or shelters. Probably great for fishing. On a warmer and sunnier and less rainy day, this would be a fabulous park. Maybe a better road would get us to five stars. [Review 15305 overall, 807 of 2021, number 194 in New York.]
