Gilgo State Park

Gilgo State Park

Gilgo State Park is a state park in Gilgo Beach, New York, USA. The park is located on the southern part of Long Island in Suffolk County.

The most prominent feature of Gilgo State Park is its ocean front beach. On the south side of the barrier island (Jones Beach Island) is the Atlantic Ocean, and on the north side is Great South Bay. The park is undeveloped and no services are thus provided. Access is by four-wheel drive vehicle (by permit), although Ocean Parkway passes the park. The park features tranquility, shore scenery, and fishing.

The park also serves as a wildlife reserve, in particular, the piping plover and the Sea beach amaranth. Thus, no pets are permitted.
