Hm, I don't live in Suffolk but I have a lot of family members who do, would I be able to go if I went with them? Do you know if theres a fee for guests or something?
i'm pretty sure the fee is for a carload of people ... here is the link :
Suffolk County Government > Departments > Parks > Parks > Cupsogue Beach County Park
The fee recently went up, not sure but I think it's now $8 for green key holders, $13 for Suffolk county non-green key holders .. I don't know the fee for non-residents ...
Beware the parking lot fills up on good weekends by 11Am , and stays filled until 3-4pm
Cooper's Beach in Southampton - hands down for me. Not sure about fishing (I don't fish) but it certainly nails your other two criteria on the head. I only go to the beach once or twice a year - so don't mind paying the $45(?) parking fee.
I like Cooper beach. We usually try to park free and then walk or bike to the beach. I do not like that any place to eat or drink there (in town) is with off-the-chart pricing.
Most often, we go to Smith's Point. Park and then walk west on Fire Island, away from the crowds. It is a fine line, though - to get away from the big crowds and to not hit the nudist/gay area...
I like to swim there, but there are some dangerous undercurrents often.
My closest, West Meadow beach on the North Shore, is good for walks off-season, and perfect for sunsets.
Almost 2hours but with some interesting characters - enjoyed watching it. The oldest guy was 79 and most likely in better shape than me - still swimming and running fast enough to pass the lifeguard yearly exam.
Mecox in Southampton/Bridgehampton has always been a personal favorite!
