If there any beaches on Long Island that are free to park and/or free to get on to the beach? I would like to go for a short period of time but do not want to pay 10 bucks for an hour at a beach.

You can park for free in the restaurant lot at Crab Meadow.

Actually, I should have specified Nassau County, preferably south shore. Thank you though.

Most of the beaches on the GS bay there is street parking nearby that you can walk to to bypass paying town lot fees.

I can't think of any. Closest you can get is Nickerson if you have a leisure pass, it's 8$ for parking.

No we are not socialists when it comes to beaches... Long Beach is free before 9 am and after 5pm I think... If you live in SW Nassau you can go to Rockaway Beach, it is not that far... I believe that beach is free but that 100% positive...

WTF does that mean? We pay more than enough in taxes to justify free beaches.

They are either State Parks (Jones), town beaches (TOBAY, etc) or City Beaches (Long Beach). The state wants their money, not for the beach, but for parking and each individual town wants to keep their beach for their residents. Are you going alone? If not, the $10 at Jones covers a carload of people. If you are only going for an hour, go to LB and walk on the boardwalk for free or get there before or after hours.
