"It is close to Key West feel as you can in Long Island. Nice set up with plenty outdoor seating, music. Has clean bathroom and outdoor shower. Next to the beach, the food is good and not over priced. Other than the rocky sands and brown color ocean you would really think you are in key west...Can't fix long island beaches..,"

- Joe Y.
