Gilgo Beach
Babylon, NY
A barrier-island surf break that has been drawing boards since the 60s, plus serious surfcasting on either side of the swimming beach. No boardwalk, no crowds, just ocean.
LOCAL TIP
Surfers & anglers roll in before 8am when parking is free; bring everything, there is not much out here.
