Gilgo State Park, located on a barrier beach in Babylon, NY, offers visitors a serene and undeveloped natural setting with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and Great South Bay. Accessible only by 4-wheel drive vehicles with a valid NYS Parks Beach Vehicle Access Permit, this park is a haven for anglers who can enjoy surf fishing for striped bass and other salt-water species during the fall migration. The park is also actively managed to protect the piping plover and sea beach amaranth, and stewards provide educational information on habitat management to visitors.
With its tranquil atmosphere and abundant fishing opportunities, Gilgo State Park is a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the beauty of Long Island's south shore. Please note that swimming is not permitted in the park, and for beach access, visitors can contact Gilgo Beach operated by the Town of Babylon.
