I've passed this hidden gem THOUSANDS of times, and while back in NY for a long weekend finally…read moredecided to check it out. Though I grew up less than 15-20 min. away, this beach was not in my township (Huntington) so we stuck to our own local N. Shore Long Island Sound beaches (rather than pay a craaazy entry fee). Off season, everyone's a resident of everywhere/anywhere, so a beautiful, sunny February afternoon was a PERFECT opportunity to check out Callahans. We had the whole place to ourselves, and my sister and I checked out the upper picnic area, the new/improved playground, and the wonderful views around the perimeter of the parking lot. Rumor has it there are other trails, but we did not see them, so we ventured down to the entrance to the beach to get a closer look at the BEAUTIFUL views... NOTE: I don't believe you can park in the little circle near the stairs leading down to the beach, though strangely enough, there are handicapped parking spaces there. This beach is many things: scenic, secluded, convenient if you live in the area, great for families, picnics, and golf fans, but it is definitely NOT handicapped friendly, unless you just plan to enjoy the view from above. There are MANY steps to get down to that beautiful beach, and you'd better be in reasonably good shape AND not forget anything in your car, because it's a TRIP up and down those stairs. While my sister and I didn't find the hiking trails that are supposedly there, we did hike the full length of the beach, a WONDERFUL walk all the way to neighboring Sunken Meadow State Park beach and back. BEAUTIFUL, invigorating, and very do-able, nearly 3 miles back and forth. Well worth the "ride!!" Some of the best things/places on Long Island are still free, especially if you go off season... Check this place out!!

Tucked away on 25A, there is a sign, but once you see it, you're probably passing the preserve by! You can find it, and you should visit, as it is definitely going to be worth your while. Admission is free, and it is open year round. There is a parking lot, and I have never seen it get super crowded. During the Spring and Summer seasons, you will see a few people walking around, and a few parents enjoying the day with their children. Otherwise, it's just a plentiful amount of trees, clear walking trails and a direct path to the water. I'm not sure if dogs are permitted, but I have seen a few people walking theirs. This never caused any type of difficulty. Everyone was enjoying their day and taking in the fresh air and sunshine. You can get lost here, despite the preserve not being incredibly expansive. There is a readerboard with maps and paths in the parking lot to facilitate your experience. If you lose your way listen for the cars on 25A, and you will find the parking lot. Trust me! This is a very interesting preserve, as it features dirt paths, a great deal of greenery and many beautiful wildflowers during peak seasons. There are 30 acres for you to explore. The air quality is fantastic, as can be witnessed by the plethora of lichen growing on the bark of the many trees including a surplus of white birch. The paths will lead you to a sandy area with different kinds of bushes and back into another portion of the preserve. Here is where it gets even more exciting. If you keep walking, you will reach the water! It is just a lovely view. There is a bench, where you can just sit and take in the scenery, under the shade of the many trees. There is a small area of marshland prior to the actual water, however, you can venture forth. You will probably encounter friendly boaters, locals and neighbors also simply taking it all in. This is just a wonderful place, where you can escape the daily hustle and collect your thoughts. Highly recommended. Enjoy!
