Smith Point County Park

Intermediate

Smith Point County Park is an exposed Fire Island barrier-beach setup with rolling Atlantic surf, a large summer crowd, and plenty of room when the conditions are calm. It can be the closest real ocean option for central and eastern Long Island surfers, but it stops being beginner-friendly quickly once the shorebreak hardens or the sweep starts pulling sideways.
