Sunken Meadow State Park
The unique geography of Sunken Meadow State Park, which borders Long Island Sound, supports a broad variety of vegetation and fauna. The three miles of beach meet the steep, glacier-formed bluffs at the western end of the seashore. A man-made dam separates the tidal flats from the park’s brackish watercourse and marshes. South of the plains are acres of undeveloped, thickly forested undulating hills. There are a variety of activities accessible, including swimming in Long Island Sound, hiking six miles of trails, including the northern beginning of the Suffolk County Greenbelt Trail, biking, horseback riding, picnicking, fishing, and cross-country skiing. Three 9-hole golf courses, a driving range, and a putting green are all located in the park. Kayaking at Field 3 (free parking) with a permit
Things to do
Boating
You can choose from a wide selection of water in New York State. Boaters can go on a relaxing cruise, go fishing in their favourite cove, or go on a daring expedition to discover new waters. Among the many natural wonders in New York are the Atlantic Ocean, the estuary of Long Island Sound, and the St. Lawrence Rivers. Enjoy Lake Champlain, two Great Lakes, and eleven Finger Lakes. Visit the Great Lakes and Hudson River by way of the New York State Barge Canal. Paddle hundreds of more streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds in New York State Parks in addition to dozens of crystal-clear, unpolluted Adirondack lakes.
Things to do
Swimming
In New York State parks, there are several places to swim during the summer, from clear lakes to Olympic-sized pools. Our designated swim sites are available for your use, and swimming is a pleasant and healthy way to explore our parks.
Things to do
Hunting
All hunters in New York State are required to finish one or more state-approved sportsman’s education courses before applying for a hunting licence. All hunters shall report the sex, date, and county of any deer, turkey, or bear taken. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation uses this reporting system to monitor the hunting programme and permitted harvest as well as to create statewide population estimates for certain species. Hunters are ardent environmentalists, contributing funds to the preservation of wildlife species through licence fees and taxes on rifles and ammunition. Furthermore, the state’s economy benefits from hunting to the tune of almost $1.5 billion.
Where to Camp?
Most likely, there isn’t a camping at this park. On the other side, Sunken Meadow’s Pavilion can be booked for a get-together or special occasion.

Went there on Sunday evening. Lots of parking spots, lots of people fishing, a couple of fancy event locations along the beach. There were weird bugs though that start biting, so carrying a bug spray might help. The boardwalk was great too.

I visited Sunken Meadow State Park with the hope of seeing a good view of sunset, but I was in the wrong direction. Beach gave a fantastic view of sound, and the water was very clear.

Love it here! If you don't like to get your feet in the sand but still want to enjoy the beach, you can come to the boardwalk. It also has two playgrounds for kids. Picnic areas are available.
